Theater — A Summer’s Nights Dream

Two rulers planning their wedding, four confused young lovers, a quarrelling fairy king and queen, a mischievous supernatural creature, and theater-loving craftsmen—the characters in the enchanted woods surrounding ancient Athens have been igniting the imagination of theater-makers and audiences for centuries. Shakespeare's classic deals with the question of what is illusion and what is reality: Which feelings are real? Antú Romero Nunes and the Basel company seek the answer in the play, in the as-if, and in the theater within the theater within the theater. This fun-packed tragedy will be performed in German with English surtitles (no surtitles for the Première on December 17).
Tickets are CHF 30 to 60 for adults and CHF 10 for individuals under age 30.
