“I’m certain of something, then it goes again. Like a dream, when you wake up.”
A Dream Play, by August Strindberg, one of the best-known and least produced plays by the celebrated writer of Miss Julie, is being staged by Fanshawe College Acting for Screen and Stage Production graduating students from December 10 to 13 at the College’s Downtown Campus.
In this brilliant translation from acclaimed British playwright Caryl Churchill, we move fluidly through memories, experiences, free associations, absurdities, and improvisations as Agnes, child of the gods, attempts to untangle what makes human life on earth worth living.
Drawing freely from the aesthetics of provocateurs like Marcel Duchamp, David Lynch, and Derek Jarman, this new multimedia production from the Fanshawe Acting Program’s graduating class promises to surprise and delight, while guiding us to consider the ways, wounds, and worlds we dream into being.
