An overly enthusiastic forest sprite sees three people suffering and decides to help and have fun at the same time. In this queer rendition of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck makes it their mission to help Hippolyta, Hermia, and Hel find their footing in a world of nighttime confusion and fairy lights magic.
Join us for a wondrous evening at the Platenenhof of UniTobler. Follow Hermia and Lysandra’s flight from the city’s and their society’s constraints, find out if Hel can find love with Demetrius, accompany Bottom in his dreamlike romance with the enamoured fairy king Oberon. Will Hippolyta come into her own when incarnated as the fairy queen Titania? And will she (and you) relish the chaos between reality and the fairy world that Puck creates in their mission to return power to those who don’t recognise their own potential to do great things?
Directing: Lau Krummenacher & Flo Radtke
Production Team: Franz Andres Morrissey & Nicole Nyffenegger
Actors: Alex Birrer, Jonathan Carrick, Anjuli de Vries, Nicolas Düsel, Salome Frey, Annina Ganahl, Melina Hauri, Sarah Hutter, Robin Küchler, Xenja Rohrer, Dario Roth, Charley Sitter, Nino Töndury, Rebecca Wasem.
