The Innocence of a Dream reimagines classical myth through a modern lens, inspired by the faun mythology and Nijinsky’s ballet L’Après-midi d’un Faune. The film follows three mystical figures—a nymph and two fauns on a journey through a moonlit night. Setting the the scene for the exploration of love, acceptance, and freedom. By depicting the nymph as a strong, independent character, it challenges traditional myths and societal norms around love and desire.
The Innocence Of A Dream premiered at the Art Gallery Of NSW in December 2024.
