Description Wilson's production of this rarely staged Modernist drama by Swedish playwright August Strindberg married the director’s signature dream-like visual elements with Strindberg’s attempt (as he presented in an explanatory note to the work) “to imitate the disconnected but apparently logical form of a dream.” With music provided by Michael Galasso, this three-hour theater piece (performed in Swedish) presented itself as a fragmented narrative concerning the daughter of a Hindu god who visits Earth to experience life as a mortal, staged in a series of thirteen tableaus, separated by sudden blackouts or fades. Ett Drömspel premiered at the Stadsteater, in Stockholm, on November 15, 1998, with a continuing series of performances worldwide for the next three years.
