The Dream: a new vibrant and dynamic interpretation of the most savory of all of Shakespeare’s comedies, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, is an exploration of  the complexities of love in all their forms and complications through a story which creates an experience very similar to an emotional kaleidoscope.

Love is the key word and everything revolves around it. As the story unfolds there are taking shape many things with a variety of nuances that turn this abstract idea – Love – into a tangible frame which can be seen, felt and tasted. The Dream brings us to the meeting point of two worlds – the physical and the metaphysical: one is constrained by societal norms and pressures and the other one is free. We gain the possibility to meditate on the very nature of love, thus observing the way in which transforms every situation that encounters.

In an everyday reality where fear and violence seem to be more common than positive emotions and feelings, this production aims to give audience a necessary escape replete with humor and fantasy where reality and imagination blend and by doing so it reminds us of love’s outstanding power of bringing harmony into our lives.” Nicolas Cristache
