When love loses its rhythm

At the center are Hermia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius, as well as Theseus and Hippolyta, alongside Oberon, Titania, and the mischievous Puck. The staging by Astrid Großgasteiger focuses on the unrest of emotions: certainties become shaky, masks fall, and from courtly distance, it suddenly becomes a play of bodies, glances, and desires. This dramatic mix of courtly world, love confusion, and fairy realm makes the play a classic that every generation deciphers anew.
