Dreaming Under Capitalism
Twelve people recount and then interpret their memories of a dream about work. These mistreated souls describe their subjective suffering at work in a poetic and political way. Bit by bit, the dreamers and their dreams portray a world dominated by neoliberal capitalism.

Did we dream then, the sound of rain turning into a shower of footsteps and voices; the hubbub of the diner giving way to the rustle of wind in the courtyard; a night guard's beaming flashlight evoking a choreography, or a rhythmic sequence of seagull cries fading into a trace of humanity? With long pauses between the dreamers' testimonies, Sophie Bruneau also lets us sense a waking "dreaming under capitalism" at work: a way of harnessing our own senses to escape the omnipresent pressures of the hierarchical order before the nightmares of the night.
