With Dreamscape, the audiences are invited to embark on a voyage of discovery through time and across dimensions as it evokes a sentimental dialogue between memories, dreams, and reality.

Each dream is a story, a very unique experience for each individual. These moments, though fleeting, open gateways to strange new worlds and leave behind special fragments of memory. Catching glimpses of Rồng Phố [Dragon of the Urbanities], it is seen as it appears, disappears, and then reappears throughout dreams. With its regal posture, its head held up high, and its retained aura of a spiritual figure, that is what brings good fortune to men, as per Asian beliefs. Through a contemporary lens, the regal mystique creature seamlessly integrates with everyday life, as it exists amongst us. Connected with those ideas, Dragon Street becomes more in tune, further highlighting the dialogue between dreams.

Created through a collaboration between Bát Tràng Museum Atelier and Designer Diệu Anh, each individual art piece of Rồng Phố (Dragon of the Urbanites) incorporates the regal imagery of the Asian dragon with the intimate ordinariness of the everyday street items in its design. These artworks come in five variety, namely monoblocs, sidewalk stools, brick blocks, water pipes, and car tires.
