An existential Strindberg classic that asks: Can one continue to find hope when the world is off course?

The daughter of gods Agnes, played by Asta Kamma August, is sent to earth driven by curiosity about human conditions. Here, they constantly ask themselves: What is the meaning of life when we try to find joy and love but every time get double the sorrow? The daughter of gods must repeatedly conclude that "it is a pity for human beings." But is it?

In Strindberg's masterful and surreal drama, the dream is a concentration of life, and life is a waken dream. He wrote the play during a marital crisis, and therefore life in the play is always in danger of becoming a nightmare, just like Strindberg's own life. In A Dream Play, all circumstances are heightened, and the people exert great effort, yet they are trapped in draining situations, as is often the case in both dreams – and in life.

In House Director of The Royal Danish Playhouse Anna Balslev's staging, a heavenly female vocal fills the stage space, and we find ourselves on a large, unkempt lawn with a huge sky and clouds above – recognizable and magnified. For we never dream of anything we do not know, and we are submerged in an absurd, collective dream.
