This Is Not A Pipe Dream

Synopsis:
the Belgian artist was renowned for creating whimsical, absurd paintings adored by all ages. This Is Not a Pipe Dream takes its name from one of his most famous creations, a painting of a pipe with the French message 'this Is Not a Pipe' written underneath. the play offers a glimpse of Magritte's early years when his unique vision of the world left him feeling ostracized and his one possible outlet was taken by his Father who refused to let him take art lessons. Using projected images and theatrical recreations of Magritte's beloved work, the play illuminates his inspiring story. This Is Not a Pipe Dream also seamlessly blends magic realism with physical comedy. the play captures the dreamlike quality of Magritte's paintings, and borrows elements from silent films, farce, and vaudeville to create its over-the-top slapstick humor. This Is Not a Pipe Dream encourages everyone to learn from Rene Magritte and pursue their pipe (and not so pipe) dreams
