Step into a world where reality blurs and dreams come alive. Surreal, a word that encapsulates the enchanting essence of Alice in Wonderland as she navigates through the whimsical wonders of her imagination. Picture Alice at the croquet game, where flamingos become mallets and hedgehogs transform into balls, defying all logic. Travel further east to Hungary's Budapest, where the Green donkey roams freely, challenging our understanding of metaphysics in 1924. In Italy's Venice, an Antipope emerges from the shadows, questioning established norms and pushing boundaries. Claude Rains captivates audiences as James Whales' Invisible Man in 1933. His unseen presence adds an eerie touch to this surreal masterpiece. In Don Levy's Herostratus (1967), Ines Levy takes us on a journey through time and space with her captivating performance that challenges our perception of reality. Shirley Markham's surreal study from 1952 invites us to explore hidden dimensions beyond what meets the eye. Meanwhile, Germany's Berlin mesmerizes with its set design for The Magic Flute; here we encounter the Queen of Night herself – an embodiment of fantastical elements intertwined with music. Italy presents "The Disturbing Muses, " provoking introspection and unsettling emotions within their artistic expression. The LCC-LFB Warehouse fire at Butlers Wharf in Bermondsey ignites both fear and fascination as flames dance against London’s skyline. In this realm of surreality, even nature bends its rules: behold a Frog Couple accompanied by their loyal Pet Snail – creatures embodying unexpected companionship amidst chaos. Georges Hugnet and Kissa Kouprine grace Henri d Ursels' La Perle (1929) with their enigmatic presence while Jessie Matthews enchants audiences in Victor Saville’s Evergreen (1934). Surreal is not just a word.
