The courtly life in Athens is bleak and at times a torment for the noble children. Fathers condemn their daughters to death because they refuse to marry the suitor chosen for them. But fortunately, there is the forest, into which the young people can escape during the short summer nights. There reigns the quarreling fairy king and queen, Titania and Oberon. In the enchanted forest, the strict court rules are suspended. Here, everyone falls in love with anyone, while a few trees away, a group of craftsmen eagerly rehearses for a theater performance. The puppet master of this fantastic spectacle is Puck, Oberon's jester. He takes great delight in causing a unique confusion among the lovers Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius with the juice of the magical flower. But he does not only play pranks on them; he also tricks the group of craftsmen, who are struggling to make progress with their art. Not even the fairy queen Titania is spared from Puck's mischief. He drips the potion into her eye, which makes her fall in love with the next creature she sees. It is the craftsman Bottom... Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM charmingly plays with the wishes and longings for love. The orderly daytime world in the castle contrasts with the erotic tumult in the nocturnal forest. Look forward to a summer night under the open sky.
