A review by blueyorkie
Sonho de Uma Noite de Verão by William Shakespeare, Maria Candida Zamith

5.0

Lovers flee the authority of a father who is contrary to them, a lover who pursues the one he loves and does not love her, accompanied by the one who loves him and does not love him. - You follow me
There is nothing very original you will say to me. Still, there is also theatre and magic in the forest. Worlds intermingle in joyful confusion. Artisans from Athens come to rehearse a play for the king's wedding. Fairy and facetious beings, bewitching, a magical flower that lavishes all the energy of love for the first creature seen upon awakening - even if it had the head of an ass.
There's no need for a villain in The Dream to hold the viewer in suspense. Problems fly away by magic; you have to let yourself be bewitched. This piece feels like weightlessness, celebrating theatrical play, the beneficial lightness, and the beautiful fantasy of the imagination that frees us from the weight of reality. And it's so good!
