Sueño
El sueño es una obra de teatro escrita en 1901 por el dramaturgo sueco August Strindberg. Narra la historia de la hija de un Dios que baja entusiasta a la Tierra para observar cómo viven los seres humanos, pero enfrenta la cruda realidad. Es una crítica hacia la forma de vivir de la sociedad, una oportunidad de ver la vida desde otra perspectiva, tratando de mostrar lo ridículo e injusto.
Escrito sobre la pared y el techo está una parte del inicio del guión de la obra de teatro:
A Dream Play
INDRA’S VOICE: (from above.) Where are you, Daughter, where?
DAUGHTER: Here, Father, here!
INDRA’S VOICE: You’ve gone astray, child.
Be careful, you’re sinking.
How did you get here?
DAUGHTER: I followed the lightning’s fiery flame
From ethereal regions with a cloud for my chariot.
The cloud sank and is still falling.
Tell me, great Father Indra,
What region have I come to?
The air is oppressive and breathing is difficult.
INDRA’S VOICE: You have left the second world and entered the third.
You have left far behind Çucra the morning star,
And have now entered Earth’s atmosphere.
Take as a sign the Seventh House of the Sun
Known as Libra, where at autumn’s beginning
The morning star declares day and night are equal.
DAUGHTER: You spoke of the Earth-Is that the dark and heavy world lighted by the moon?
INDRA’S VOICE: Of all the spheres that wander in space, It is the darkest and most dense.
DAUGHTER: Doesn’t the sun shine there?
INDRA’S VOICE: It shines, yes, but not always.
