A Midsummer Night's Dream

Movie

Starring Anna Laudere, Edvin Revazov, Alexandr Trusch, Madoka Sugai

Neumeier's dance version of the Shakespeare play about the trials and tribulations of love has lost none of its freshness over three decades after its premiere. With his selection of music, which ranges from Mendelssohn Bartholdy to György Ligeti to traditional barrel organ music, John Neumeier shows his dramaturgical sensibility by integrating three different musical styles into his choreographic narrative.
