Ein Sommernachtstraum von William Shakespeare

In the organizer's words:

Shakespeare's comedy classic in the translation by Christian Leonard. Open air

Probably Shakespeare's most frequently performed comedy is also the most frequently misunderstood. Mathias Schönsee's new production at the Globe Berlin leaves behind both the romantic, explanatory performance tradition and the burlesque. Here comes a "Midsummer Night's Dream" that is closer to the author, closer to the text.

Four young lovers flee the strict laws of Athens and get lost in a forest full of ghosts and elves, fall into the maelstrom of their desires and passions, dream of heaven and fall into the abyss. On Midsummer Night, the spirits of nature whirl everything upside down and play tricks on the humans, destroying all the rules and reshuffling the cards. A sensual, turbulent round dance that contrasts the uniform civil society with the exotic jungle. The ensemble becomes a band and accompanies the play with magical live music.

With: Helena Krey, Lea Sophia Geier, Saskia von Winterfeld, Anselm Lipgens, Adrian Stowasser, Peter Beck, Rahul Chakraborty, Uwe Neumann
