THE MIDSUMMER is a storytelling piece based on the four lovers and puck from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The episode explores the emotional and psychological development that could have transpired had each character been left uninhibited and completely open to self-indulgence. The main focus of the work is on the involvement of the audience in an emotional and relatable experience through the art of dance storytelling.
It will leave you wondering: was it all just a dream?
