by William Shakespeare
\nTranslation: Dan Grigorescu<\/p>\n
Artistic direction and musical illustration: Ion Sapdaru <\/strong> Drawing on multiple sources of inspiration \u2013 Greco-Roman mythology, medieval legends and English folklore \u2013 Shakespeare's well-known creation "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play whose theme, in words and deeds, is love. It is about blind, irrational, sincere and sometimes capricious love.<\/p>\n The marriage of Duke Theseus to Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, forms the framework of the play, the action of which begins and ends in the duke's palace. The conflict is triggered by an old Athenian law that gave citizens the power to choose suitable husbands for their daughters, and in case of disobedience, to even demand the death of the latter. Using this right, Egeus asks the Duke of Athens to sentence his daughter, Hermia, to death for her refusal to marry Demetrius, scion of a noble Athenian family. The initial situation depicts the mutual love between Hermia and Lysander, as well as the unrequited love of Demetrius for Hermia and of Helena (Hermia's friend) for Demetrius. In order to escape with their lives and save their love, Hermia and Lysander decide to flee through the forest to the house of an aunt where the ruthless law has no power. They are secretly followed by Helena and Demetrius, thus all entering the miraculous realm of fairies and goblins, where everything becomes possible and human laws no longer work according to the known measures. The goblin Puck and the king of the fairies, Oberon, set on mischief, will interfere in the relationships of the four young people, using a love elixir, but, not being exempt from mistakes either, they confuse their identities. After their intervention, both Lysander and Demetrius will love Helena madly, the girls will argue, and the men are ready to duel for Helena's love. But things do not have time to become serious, because a new supernatural intervention removes the charm from Lysander's eyes, who returns to his authentic love for Hermia. Demetrius, however, remains bewitched and forever in love with Helena; Understanding that Demetrius no longer wishes to marry his daughter, Egeus no longer opposes her union with her chosen one, Lysander, so that the wedding at the ducal palace is joined by two other weddings, which will take place on the very day of Hermia's death, the fairy kingdom participating in the general joy with parties and feasts.<\/p>\n In director Ion Sapdaru's staging, the magical world of Shakespeare's play is replaced by an urban labyrinth, complete with gas-masked soldiers, helicopters, ambulances, and wheelchairs. The tenderness and grace of the original play are sacrificed in favor of harshness and almost nightmarish nuances symptomatic of the everyday reality of the 2000s.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Theseus:\u00a0\u00a0 George Voinese<\/strong> Technical director: Florin Popescu \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" de\u00a0 William Shakespeare Traducerea:\u00a0 Dan Grigorescu Regia artistic\u0103 \u015fi ilustra\u0163ia muzical\u0103:\u00a0 Ion Sapdaru Asistent regie:\u00a0 Elvira Platon R\u00eembu Scenografia:\u00a0 Mihai Pastramagiu Costume:\u00a0 Alina Dinc\u0103 Coregrafia:\u00a0 Victoria Bucun Data premierei:\u00a0 1 martie 2003 Av\u00e2nd la baz\u0103 surse de inspira\u021bie multiple \u2013 mitologia greco-roman\u0103, legendele Evului Mediu \u0219i folclorul englez \u2013 binecunoscuta crea\u021bie shakespearian\u0103 \u201eVisul unei nop\u021bi […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-arhiva":[494],"class_list":["post-10306","arhiva","type-arhiva","status-publish","hentry","categorie-arhiva-unsorted"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
