The Théâtre des Muses on Boulevard du Jardin Exotique is set to host a dazzling adaptation of William Shakespeare’s classic comedic play A Midsummer Night’s Dream over five fun-filled performances during the holidays.
Escape the bleak winter nights with a ray of sunshine as the Théâtre des Muses presents Shakespeare’s beloved A Midsummer Night’s Dream between 28th December and New Year’s Eve.
This enchanting production reimagines the adored tale, blending magic, romance, and comedy into an unforgettable theatrical experience. Set in Athens and the forest beyond the city’s walls, the story follows a web of romantic entanglements.
Demetrius loves Hermia, but Hermia’s heart belongs to Lysander. Helena, however, is hopelessly in love with Demetrius. The chaos deepens when Oberon and Titania, the mischievous rulers of the forest, enlist the whimsical fairy Puck to meddle in the lovers’ affairs. As love is tested and chaos ensues, the question remains: will true love ultimately prevail?
Directed by Anthéa and Théodora Sogno, this adaptation captures the dreamlike essence of Shakespeare’s masterpiece. The staging, enhanced by stunning costumes and a dynamic young cast, transports audiences to a magical world where fairy mischief and human folly collide.
Vivantmag, a company involved in the distribution and production of live shows, cultural mediation, event organisation, and theatrical reviews across France, has praised the production: “This performance is enchanting. Their passion, talent, and creativity have brought this masterpiece back to life with freshness and originality. A memorable evening!”
