A Midsummer Night’s Dream

BARKA, Budapest, Hungary, 1996
Author: William Shakespeare
Directed by János Csányi

about the production

lt is an original text, written by Shakespeare, in which the artisans' and craftsmen's roles are built-up based on the text written by János Csányi. The producers themselves characterize the stage production as a passionate dance of confused desires, longings of youth and primeval, basic instincts of fairies in a neon-lit forest. The beautiful tortures and suffering from amateur theatre-making make any human being laugh until he/she cries.
