About the Project

Dreamers, written by Diego Esquives, is a play that authentically and profoundly captures the struggle of emerging artists in a big city. Through an intimate and emotional narrative, the play presents two young actors who face rejection, economic hardship, and the dilemma of whether to pursue their dreams or surrender to reality. In a world where many young people migrate in search of opportunities, Dreamers reflects the difficulties of artistic perseverance and professional uncertainty, making it deeply relatable to diverse audiences. The relationship between David and Leo showcases a fraternal friendship charged with emotional nuances, where love, frustration, and hope intertwine powerfully on stage. The simple staging—a small apartment with everyday objects—allows the audience’s attention to focus on the performances and the unfolding conflict, demonstrating that a well-told story doesn’t need grand artifice to be moving. The play pays tribute to the struggles of dreamers and creators, an inspiring message for any theater festival that values ​​the voice of independent artists and the spirit of perseverance in the entertainment industry. Dreamers is a theatrical project that invites reflection and dialogue about the sacrifice and passion in the pursuit of dreams.
