I'm a fucking visionary.
What play is this?
I'm the Officer in Strindberg's "Ett drömspel", which translates into "A dream play". It's surrealism taken to the extreme, from before surrealism really was a thing. It's pretty damn good.
From wikipedia:
The primary character in the play is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra. She descends to Earth to bear witness to problems of human beings. She meets about 40 characters, some of them having a clearly symbolical value (such as four deans representing theology, philosophy, medicine, and law). After experiencing all sorts of human suffering (for example poverty, cruelty, and the routine of family life), the daughter of gods realizes that human beings are to be pitied. Finally, she returns to the Heaven and this moment corresponds to the awakening from a dream-like sequence of events.
I'm the guy who's in love with a girl that I'm never able to meet, at one point exclaiming that I've been waiting for seven years outside the opera at which she dances ("in the concrete, you can see the footprints of the faithful lover"), and also has made it his life's work to figure out what the hell is behind the door standing in the centre of the stage. It was very fun to play.
I would probs have a crush on you snalin.
