Nach Damaskus – als Grenze zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit
The stage in ''To Damascus'' by August Strindberg – a frontier between dream and reality

Summary/Abstract: To Damascus (Till Damascus) is considered August Strindberg’s first dream play, a trilogy in which the dream presents the inner world of the characters and their development. In the drama occur psychological processes and experiences, which move away from the real-life frame and at the same time, a firm connection between the real and in this sense dreamlike setting is established. The present paper deals with the analysis of the dream world on stage in ''To Damascus'' and with the methods, by which it is built, for example, stage directions, simplified decor, light design, sound and shadows. It is a fact that any symbol, motive, any relationship or textual information serve to present the inner world of the characters on stage.
