La MaMa presents The Censorship of Dreams

“We want to keep an eye on them. The dreams. The dreamers.”

Welcome to a world stripped of memory and ruled by constant surveillance, where brain-computer technologies shape truth. In this Restarted civilization, dreams are the last remnants of the past. They become a dangerous currency for those who struggle to survive.

Arte Makar Productions, led by Armenian director Arthur Makaryan, creates visually striking, interdisciplinary performances that blend theater, technology, and political inquiry. Rooted in international collaboration, the company explores themes of memory, control, and resistance through immersive storytelling. Makaryan’s work spans Europe, the US, Middle East, and South America, bridging experimental forms with urgent social questions to provoke, unsettle, and inspire. Their latest international collaboration, The Censorship of Dreams, is a timely and resonant exploration of how love, language, and the body are reshaped in a world without privacy.
