Theatre of Doors by Laura Welsan

Inspired by Hermann Hesse’s 'Steppenwolf'

Come down for the last show at the Alchemist's Gallery for a colourful exhibition of Cardiff based artists with drinks and good music! This is an open event- the more the merrier. 

With the dissemination of generation-defined art movements, comes a new era of creative potentials. We aim to bring together artist's internal worlds to experience a point of the collective unconscious and also to explore the individual subconscious.In Steppenwolf the protagonist is led to a 'theatre of doors'- behind each are fantasies and fears drawn out from the hidden realm of the viewer’s mind.
