Art vivant. Entering The Dream

The dreamlike landscape created by the famous German expressionist in 1912 comes to life in a play for all audiences, full of vitality, playfulness and questions.

The play subtly confronts the painter's historical reality with his imagination and ideas: Franz Marc died in the First World War after enlisting as a volunteer because he fervently believed in the regenerative capacity of war. Only four years earlier he had signed The Dream, a masterpiece which, through symbols, speaks to us of the artist's spirituality and the ideal concept of harmony.

In The Dream, the protagonists of the painting, three mysterious, fantastic beings, live in natural happiness. The appearance of their creator Franz Marc, although known and desired by them, causes a disastrous imbalance. It is thanks to the agile and vivid interventions of the blue horse, the yellow lioness and the woman, together with Marc's philosophical vision, that the balance is restored.

This is the museum's fourth collaboration with Gran Meliá. In our commitment to young talent, we have selected a group of creators and performers graduated from the Royal School of Dramatic Art for the conception and execution of the work. Their proposal has been selected within the framework of an open call, among more than sixty candidates.

Once again, the initiative allows us to enter into art beyond the collection rooms, proposing a sensorial and immersive experience.
