A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare (original version)

In the organizer's words:

Probably Shakespeare's most performed comedy is also the most misunderstood. Mathias Schönsee's production at the Globe Berlin leaves behind the romantic, explanatory performance tradition as well as the burlesque.

Four young lovers flee the strict laws of Athens and get lost in a forest full of ghosts and elves, get caught up in the maelstrom of their longings and passions, dream of heaven and fall into the abyss. On Midsummer's Eve, the spirits of nature whirl everything upside down and play their tricks on people, shattering all the rules and reshuffling the cards. A sensual, turbulent round dance that juxtaposes the uniform civil society with the exotic jungle. The ensemble becomes a band and accompanies the play with magical live music.

Featuring Helena Krey, Lea Sophia Geier, Saskia von Winterfeld, Anselm Lipgens, Adrian Stowasser, Peter Beck, Tim Otto Böhme, Uwe Neumann

Director: Mathias Schönsee / Music: Bernd Medek / Set design and costumes: Ira Storch and Katharina Piriwe

Globe Berlin summer season "Power & Powerlessness"

From June 20 to September 13, the Charlottenburg Globe Berlin will once again be the venue for genuine popular theater in a unique open-air setting. The current program includes plays by Shakespeare (German/English), Goethe and Schiller, as well as word art evenings and swing concerts. Until the reconstruction of the former Schwäbisch Hall circular theater building on Sömmeringstraße is possible, a ring-shaped catwalk made of wooden components of the future Globe will serve as an open-air stage. The audience sits in the middle of the action. Admission costs between 20 and 26 euros (concessions 16 to 21 euros). Tickets can be booked via www.globe.berlin, directly from Ticketmaster and via the usual advance booking offices (plus additional costs where applicable).
