»Midsummer Night's Dreams«
A dissonant music theater

based on motifs by William Shakespeare | 2022

​

Four nights should quickly let the time fly until the royal couple's long-awaited wedding lets the country's screens shine. Love is in the air, but what about those who haven't been blessed with a TV-ready romance? They chase and flee each other on the same axis between longing and disappointment. What do they hope to gain from their nocturnal encounters? Are you looking for fulfillment in others? Is there no spectacle to sweeten the torment of waiting?
