A prompt to two ambulance drivers in Karachi to reconstruct recurring dreams catalyzes an
exploration of the permeable boundaries between memory and fiction, and between trauma and its
recollection. As first responders consider the aftermath of violent events, television re-enactment
actors audition for and perform the gendered roles of victim, perpetrator and witness in scenarios
ranging from the banal to tragic. Unfolding through rituals, preparations, dreams and performance,
we never see the events themselves, but catch traces of the extent to which they have been internalized
by a society.
