Enter the psycho-fantastical, hyper-colorized world of Claire and Don in Slumberland. For the first time in San Francisco, Beloff presents this 3D slide and film projection performance. Narrated by the audio of actual psychology films from 1949, this bizarre journey follows Claire and Don as they are hypnotized and asked to allow their subconscious to roam free in “a free-floating fever dream of the Cold War era.” Slumberland combines the futuristic yet wonderfully dated feel of Barbarella with the earnest scientific films of the 1950s that demonstrate innovations in early psychology and hypnotism. Beloff transforms the viewing experience by asking the audience to don 3D glasses and believe in Claire and Don’s excursion into the unknown, while simultaneously making a poignant comment on postwar fear and anxiety.
