La vida es sueño (Life Is a Dream) is one of the most celebrated dramas in universal literature, written by Pedro Calderón de la Barca in 1635. The play explores the nature of human existence, positing earthly life as a dream from which we only awaken upon death. Through the story of Prince Segismundo, the author invites reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of performing good deeds to give it meaning. The work delves into the blurred boundaries between conscious reality and the subconscious, where desires and frustrations manifest as illusions, questioning whether our experiences are absolute truths or mere mirages.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
