El somni d’una nit d’estiu amb Cor Aglepta

A dramatised version of Shakespeare's play set to Mendelssohn's score, in which La Camerata and Cor Aglepta bring together music, words and staging from a contemporary perspective.

This proposal takes as its starting point the music Felix Mendelssohn composed for A Midsummer Night's Dream and turns it into a new staged production. It is not a historical reconstruction: the project revisits the questions that remain alive in Shakespeare's play and explores them through a contemporary sensibility. Its guiding thread is the border between the real and what exists only during a midsummer night.

The creation is the work of Judit Colomer, who signs the concept and the stage direction, together with Elisabet Casanovas and Anna Andreu, author of the texts. Elisabet Casanovas appears as an actress, while Clara González and Núria Vives sing in the cast. Cor Aglepta, directed by Oriol Castanyer, and La Camerata complete the musical ensemble, and the costumes are by Lorenza Borrani. Rash Cabounan also appears in the artistic team.

The work is presented in a dramatised version, in collaboration with the Festival Clàssics, and combines Mendelssohn's programme with the spoken word and staging.
