Life is a Dream
Based on the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
Created by Brenna Geffers & Felipe Vergara
Directed by Brenna Geffers
This reimagining of this Spanish Golden Age classic asks, "How do we activate change in our own kingdoms?"
When a prophecy decrees that the heir to the throne will upend the kingdom, the king imprisons his only child, dooming the prince to a life in isolation. Warring factions struggle for dominance as the line between reality and fantasy blurs: were the memories of the newly freed prince just a dream? Created in collaboration with Colombian writer and director, Felipe Vergara.
