About the performance
A Dream Play tells the story about the daughter of Indra, the king of the highest heaven in Hinduism. She visits the human world in search of the truth of life. During her earthly existence, she experiences the pains and miseries of human life. They cannot but hurt one another for survival. With a strong overtone of Zen, the story expresses Buddha’s mercy for human beings. Strindberg presents her earthly lives as a series of dreams.
