Joffrey Ballet’s Midsummer Night’s Dream

Ekman’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is far from being a Shakespearean tale, but a dizzying journey into a surreal world of unearthly pleasures. The story takes place during the traditional Scandinavian summer solstice festival. Dancers celebrate a day of fun and romance under the maypole, which soon turns into an otherworldly dream. Ekman’s picturesque combination of classical and modern ballet blurs the line between the real and the imaginary and makes you wonder: is it all a dream?
