​

Considered the greatest example of the golden age of Spanish drama, Life is a Dream spins a tale of an imprisoned prince who seeks to escape the cruelty of his father the King.  Once free, the rampage he brings causes him to be imprisoned again, and to be convinced that the whole thing was a dream.  The play explores what is real and what is in our mind.

​

The soundscape involved many sounds of riots and battles from a dream-like standpoint, and featured music of Spanish artists.
