Sueño
SUEÑO is Obie Award-winning playwright José Rivera's sharp translation and adaptation of Calderón de la Barca's Golden Age classic LIFE IS A DREAM. SUEÑO follows the life of young Prince Segismundo, heir to the Spanish throne, who is imprisoned at birth when astrologers predicted his reign as king would result in the country's ruin. When his father King Basilio finds his own life ending without a legitimate heir, he releases Segismundo and places him on the throne. If Segismundo is gentle, he will be allowed to reign. If he is as barbaric as the stars predicted, he'll be sent back to his imprisonment and told that his brief moment of freedom and power was only a dream. In this brisk, contemporary adaptation, Rivera asks the question that haunted Calderón: If life is a dream, who is dreaming us?
SUEÑO is for mature audiences only. The show involves adult content, sexual themes and situations, and strong language. In addition to simulated violence and sexual assault, the play contains references to colonialism and acts of genocide.
