At the end of all dreams, the self stands alone and shines, for here it is allowed to be. Not you, not him, not her, just ME. Just you!
Imagine Puck from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" can alter the course of stories, has clairvoyant visions. Puck can help, sees images, sees you and your life. Your fate, your future! Using the character "Puck" from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", choreographer and performer Teresa Zschernig and composer Aylin Leclaire, together with their team, ask who we are and who we really want to be. By examining selected female Shakespearean characters, they look into the future, devising alternative life paths—What would Juliet's end look like today? How could Ophelia's fate be influenced? And what could Lady Macbeth's career have been?—they dream in the most musical of worlds and from one state of being to another. "Who am I? And if so, how many?" With Puck, anything is possible!
