Teater Nordkraft's Skærsommernat is a free reimagining of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, staged as a theatre concert that brings the whole audience onto the stage. You are not watching from a distance: the performance unfolds all around you, and you find yourself in the middle of the party, seated at a table in a lavish hall as if you had bought a ticket to a summer feast.
The cast includes five actors, three musicians and an opera singer, among them Laura Kold, Thomas Nielsen, Nickie Johansson and Troels Kortegaard Ullerup. The production is about generating fresh energy and rediscovering the desire, and the courage, to imagine that the world could look different.
