Reverie - a dream of autoimmunity by Joanna Holland

2 November 2025
19:00 - 20:00
£7.5

Hosted with Metal, multidisciplinary artist Joanna Holland brings her performance Reverie – a dream of autoimmunity.

A once grand hall in an abandoned manor house – now in a dilapidated state of disrepair. A young woman, a dreamy new friendship, and a curse. An unorthodox relationship, but one which has utterly lifted her from a state of melancholia.

Suddenly this friendship takes a sinister turn, and she finds herself in a nightmarish scenario – where comfort is replaced by claustrophobia and trust by terror.

Rule one – never ever share your innermost secrets.Rule two – old houses are not to be trusted.

Entanglements between chronic illness and a repetitive dream inspired Joanna’s autofictional tale of love, loss and unpredictability. Reverie is performed as a dreamlike monologue by award-winning actress Louise Kim Salter and directed by Stéphanie Joalland.

The performance will be followed by a Q&A with writer Joanna & actress Louise.Event duration: Approx. 60 minutesSuitable for people aged 14+
