Five of the most prominent musicians in Vancouver‘s internationally celebrated improvisational scene will meet and re-imagine Akira Kurosawa‘s 28th most personal film, Dreams (a.k.a. Yume, 1990) as part of the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival on Jan 17 at 8pm at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre.

Elusive, metaphoric and influenced by Japanese legends, Kurosawa‘s dream sequences reflect in some way impressions from his own life.

A surreal and visually fascinating film, Dreams comprises eight dream sequences, featuring impressive special effects and beautiful Japanese scenery.
