Common Dreams is an interdisciplinary play that results from a reflection on dreams. Dreams, a subject that is so unique to each person, yet so enigmatic in itself. It's interesting to think about whether there are recurring dreams in a large number of people. Who hasn't dreamt of falling into the void? Who hasn't dreamt of flying? Who hasn't dreamt of being chased? Do you remember your dreams? Have you ever known inside the dream that you were dreaming? Can dreams solve problems? Can we communicate with animals or our ancestors in our dreams? Can dreams see into the future? Can we dream the same dream?Thinking that the description of a dance has something similar to a dream, because both produce mental and sensory images that are difficult to translate into words, we propose taking the visual out of the hierarchy of the senses, the visual as proof of the real, and creating a poetic and sensory plot, accessible and concrete in the imaginary of the dream, with which everyone can identify.
