Why choose to be a live performance or an installation when the wonderful world of Austin’s arts scene allows for both? Directed by Faith Sanders, this combo platter of creative mediums – installation and performance, remember? – finds audiences shopping for dreams as actual products that can be preserved, exchanged, and sold. “Dora’s world reminds us of the power and fragility of our inner lives,” writes venue the Vortex, “and the importance of nurturing imagination as a form of resilience and connection.” Proprietor Dora (Allanah Maarteen) as well as the production’s design team will be around during this weekend’s Austin Studio Tour for you to meet. – James Scott
