The play எனக்கொரு கனவுண்டு… Enakku Oru Kanavundhu… (I Have A Dream) approaches war, the memories of war, and its lingering psychological impact through an abstract and darkly comic lens. Rather than representing violence in a direct or realistic way, the performance treats war as something fragmented—an echo that continues to live inside bodies, language, and everyday gestures. The play uses elements of absurdity and tragic humour to reveal how trauma can appear in unexpected and sometimes uncomfortable forms.
At its core, the work explores the strange and complicated ways in which human beings express their emotions. People rarely reveal their feelings directly; instead, they hide them behind performances, roles, and carefully constructed behaviours. These emotional disguises—sometimes protective, sometimes deceptive—become a central focus of the play. The characters move between sincerity and performance, between confession and concealment.
Through this process, the play invites the audience to question what is genuine and what is acted. In doing so, it creates a space where memory, identity, and emotion are constantly shifting, exposing the fragile theatre through which people attempt to understand themselves and the aftermath of war.
