Children grow up with beautiful dreams. Dreams to make a positive impact in their communities. These dreams reflect who they are but society and sometimes also parents, don't give them enough space to express these true versions of themselves; their Dreams.
This is the story of Kelly who since childhood wanted to be a dancer but was restricted in his moves by his parents until one day the dream faded away. The piece is a 15 minutes solo theater performance combining acting, poetry, dance and storytelling.
