A Midsummer Dream
Plot/ Synopsis:
According to legend, once a year, during the summer solstice, humans can pass through to the magic world of goblins and fairies, a peaceful and harmonious place where dreams can come true.
Helena is a young, intelligent and realistic girl who does not believe in legends. But her father, Theseus the Duke, is very ill, and she will do anything to make him recover his will to live. She will even embark on a journey in search of Titania, Queen of the fairies. She will travel with Demetrius the banker and vain Lysander, both of whom will do their best to win her affections. But the magical world has been forgotten by humans, and is no longer the same. The King, Oberon, is a party loving chubby goblin who spends a lot of his time selling spells wholesale, helped by his assistant Puck, a clever but mischievous goblin.
Magical landscapes, lazy fairies, ambitious witches and
a Queen who is very hard to find!
A Shakespeare inspired tale about a magic world that finds itself in jeopardy when humans stop dreaming.
