Dreaming of Lucid Living: A Wondrous Performance/Animation Mash-Up

“Dreaming of Lucid Living” is a short film that’s a remarkable, beautiful performance/animation mash-up by the award-winning animator, designer and multi-media artist Miwa Matreyek. The film is a performance/installation piece constructed like a shadow puppet theater, integrating Matreyek’s solo live performance, nicely composed visuals and animation in a way that is both poetic and quite quirky.

It combines live performance with both pre-made animations and semi-autonomous, rule based animations that appear to update based upon what a camera is viewing. The film’s presentation of deceptively simple, deliciously playful illusions, a high-spirited sense of wonder, and creatively unexpected mixtures of live action and animation is just incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like this ever before.

This piece includes a number of unusual illustrations from the film, as well as the incredible, beautiful short performance/animation piece, “Dreaming of Lucid Living.”

Please visit my website to view the unique illustrations and to watch this very remarkable performance/animation:
