"Written in 1901, a mysterious amalgam of Freud, Alice in Wonderland and Strindberg's own private symbolism, A Dream Play follows the logic of a dream: A young woman comes from another world to see if life is really as difficult as people make it out to be. Characters merge into each other, locations change in an instant and a locked door becomes an obsessive recurrent image. As Strindberg wrote in his preface, he wanted 'to imitate the disjointed yet seemingly logical shape of a dream. Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist.'"
Kinkyfish are currently looking for a new play and this is one of the contenders. The thing I love about all things artsy is the ability to be able to escape reality in a healthy constructive way... it's not like you make room for it... things artistic and creative can expand your mind... they make room for somewhere else for your thoughts to run... such a thought is so delightful unto me... in fact mouth-watering!
I really hope Kinkyfish decides to do this play. Sounds mouthwateringly fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tin Tin! It does sound fantastic---but only because it's going to star you Larissa, i.e. 'the Golden Wattle' of Australia! haha :)
