Event Description : Saanja Sapnaa presents English Plays based on Three short stories written by García Marquez.

“I just came to use the phone” The story follows the journey of Maria whose car breaks down on a lonely stretch of road on the way to Barcelona. She tries hitching a ride but no one stops for her. Finally a ramshackle bus full of women pulls up and takes her aboard. What follows is the stuff of nightmares in a mental asylum. 

“Eyes of a blue dog” The potential lovers in this story are not lucid dreaming adepts. While they both have consciousness in their shared dream, they cannot control the outcomes. The male sleeper suffers instant amnesia upon awakening, The female dreamer is driven to an insane pursuit of the man she meets in the dream, as she wanders through her city muttering, "eyes of a blue dog.." She scrawls the phrase, graffiti-
like, to mark her passage, hoping that one day the male dreamer will see her mark and remember, bringing them closer to consummating their relationship in real time.

“Light is like water” The two children of the family listen to their parents talk about their homeland and 
eventually ask for a small boat, so that they can go rowing on the river,the only problem is they live in a urban apartment in a city without river.The element of magical realism in this story is primarily the light that behaves as water when the children get the boat they set on an adventurous journey in their apartment.
