Step Into the “Dream Space” – Where Imagination Comes To Life At Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

Edinburgh Fringe: Dream Space opens from 31 July at Assembly George Square – The Crate. It’s a non-verbal puppet theatre from Koreafull of imagination, emotion, and visual poetry.

Dream Space takes you to a magical world where the everyday turns into something amazing. With puppets, music, and movement, you’ll go on an exciting island adventure and meet a gentle, powerful whale.

This special show is for children aged 5 and up and mixes fun, wonder, and healing. Children will be inspired to dream, and adults may feel a bit of childhood joy return. As imagination and reality blend, the stage becomes a place where stories come to life. Come with us on a one-of-a-kind journey where dreams soar and anything can happen!

Dream Space was created by South Korean artist Jin-young Son and his team, SSAK. After witnessing the 2014 Sewol ferry tragedy, Son wanted to bring hope and healing to family audiences. He uses puppets to bring people together through imagination, laughter, and comfort.
