The form of the play ‘Dreams and Obstacles’ is an experiment, that is, a combination of autobiographical performance and a demonstration of work and it addresses the topic of ‘becoming’ an artist and follows the development of a dream and its on-stage materialisation. Refracted through the personal artists’ stories are the historical events of our country which affect and change the course of the young performers’ development. The point of this junction of the personal ‘small’ histories and the official ‘great’ history is where they ‘become’.
An important aim of this play is to raise awareness in the spectator of the fact that history affects our most intimate life and how important it is to take the responsibility.
This play by the Dah Theatre is also aimed at revealing part of the creative process in the theatrethus showing some other techniques of producing a play to the interested artists, as well as to inspire the audience’s interest in new theatrical forms.
