Sondre Lerche - And In My Dreams: PATIENCE EXTRAVAGANZA - Film

What was surely one of the most artistically ambitious performances of 2020, Sondre Lerche's And In My Dreams: PATIENCE EXTRAVAGANZA is now available wide for the first time. Recorded live at Drammens Teater in Norway on December 17th 2020, Lerche and director Eivind Holmboe, along with his band of 5 musicians, a six-person choir, 14 dancers, and a technical crew of 30, collaborated on the 70 minute performance that was filmed and recorded completely live one uninterrupted sequence in with no editing whatsoever. The show merges fantasy, surrealism, and music, recalling a mix of Sleep No More, David Byrne’s American Utopia, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s 2014 film Birdman.
