Night Bloom

Born from the personal folklore of a grandmotherly outsider surrounded by a century of her lovingly hoarded oddities, steeped in memory and coloured by the landscape of lucid dreams, Night Bloom adorns the #1 Legion second floor stage with patterned tapestries, ethereal projections and eclectic trinkets. An orphic wonderland of esoteric textures, fibres and natural forms, Night Bloom will bring you to a place of comfortable nostalgia and leave you questioning where exactly you are and whose dream you have been transported to.
