Within Cells Interlinked

A new performance by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency

Upcoming dates: 22-23 May 2025, Frascati, Amsterdam  TICKETS

Within Cells Interlinked is a transmedia performance blending dreams, corporate surveillance, and gameplay to explore the intersection of imagination and reality.

What if dreams are more than just hyper-real 3D experiences? What if they are encoded messages—signals we can decode to shape our waking lives? And what if changing our dreams could transform real-world events themselves?

Welcome to Within Cells Interlinked, developed in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency, a specu-fictional government-funded entity whose task is to collect and analyze citizens’ dreams—and intervene in them to affect real-world events.

The performance follows two of the agency’s investigators as they analyze and interfere in the dreams of two dreamers: A man who finds himself marrying a complete stranger in front of his entire family while traveling backward in time ; And a woman chosen by a toddler as their parent—only to discover the child changes gender and runs on battery. Merging physical, virtual, and imaginary spaces, the piece plays at the boundaries of fiction and reality, intertwining dream logic, quantum mechanics, and bureaucratic surveillance to examine how dreams co-construct our waking lives.

The performance is based on real nighttime dreams, donated by the artistic team and several other dreamers.
