Description
Based on a play by William Shakespeare.
In an enchanted forest near Athens, four young lovers and a troupe of artisans find their feelings turned upside down by the mischievous antics of the fairies.
Romantic misunderstandings, transformations, and magic intertwine under Oberon’s rule and Puck’s whimsy. Between dream and reality, Shakespeare celebrates love in all its volatility, madness, and poetry.
Seven actors tackle this Shakespearean classic in a whimsical, fantastical, and modern adaptation inspired by the world of Tim Burton. A fresh and dynamic adaptation blending comedy, suspense, emotion, poetry, dance, song, music, and nods to the author’s other works.
