The Nine Dreams is based on a mythological epic poem by Blake called Vala, which consists of nine volumes and nearly 150 pages. The event is free and open to the public. Experimental musicians Sarah Lipstate and Guy Barash have created a custom score for the experience, and Flynn's wife, actress Lili Taylor, also performs in the films. Viewers will be invited in groups of 10 or so to walk through the installation, which culminates in a live performance by Albanian actress Drita Kabashi. The performance, called The Nine Dreams, will be an immersive experience featuring nine filmed vignettes, each about five minutes long, installed inside the silos. Now, a film version of that performance is set to make its world premiere in Houston this weekend at the Silos at Sawyer Yards.
