Written in 1901 as a counter strike on the era of realism, A Dream Play challenged people to reconsider how they experienced time and space. The play follows Agnes, a daughter of the gods, on her quest to understand humanity. In her travels, she met countless individuals and couples whose suffering was great.

This immersive adaptation invites the audience to step into the role of Agnes. Like her, they’ll venture through the story, meeting the other characters Agnes met, pondering what their experiences mean. Audience members can choose to stay in one room, follow an actor on his or her journey through the space, or forge their own pathway.

Audience members will be asked to move through several spaces during the course of the performance and may be asked to stand for an extended time. All spaces are accessible and seating is provided for those who cannot stand for long periods. Please contact the department of theater if you have questions.

Audience members are asked not to bring bags or large items to the theater; a coat and bag check will be available for those who need them.

Theatrical fog and fragrances may be used in the performance.
