about the production
Erich Bass has built up the charming Shakespeare story especially on the metaphoric fight between Oberon and Titania to gain a child. Oberon does not have a real, serious reason to ask for a child: he fights only to gain power. Eric Bass compares this fight and its consequences to a quality of persona! relations in a human society. Big chaos, which the fight between Oberon and Titania brings up envisions his idea of disorder and imbalance in the society of love, emotions and tolerance are needed. According to the Bass' interpretation the Arabic music is performed by three Palestinian musicians to underline the global understanding of personal relations.
