forest 2 - another midsummer night´s dream


Theater installation / Multimedia Opera

Chris Ziegler, Associate Artist at ZKM Karlsruhe, presents his latest theater work “forest 2” , which was produced and presented at the Munich DANCE2008 festival, as an interactive theater installation. “forest 2,” which is based on Shakespeare’s drama “A Midsummer Night‘s Dream” and Ovid’s “Metamorphoses”, plays with the complex elements of its literary origins. The text written by Michael Hewel weaves together the three motifs of love, art, and death and ties them to the theme of the forest. An extensive installation, which in conjunction with the music by Torsten Brandes and the Ensemble für Neue Musik Schloss Hamborn as well as a specific movement, light, and image architecture, creates an unusual association space in which the forest appears as a site of myths and fairytales, fears and dreams. The audience is invited to explore these different spaces with Puck (Friederike Plafki).
