What if we could imagine a place where love is available to everyone, without cultural barriers or social judgements? A place where we can talk about our needs without shame or fear, while considering how we want to respond to them. In one of his most famous dramas, Shakespeare invites a pair of lovers into a mysterious forest and they must redefine themselves within it, embarking on a journey to satisfy their basic needs. Shakespeare's forest becomes a safe space where those denied the right to love and sexuality can experience it.
Jakub Skrzywanek, together with Justyna Sobczyk, director and founder of Theatre 21, winner of the Grand Prix of the 'Kontrapunkt' festival, have invited artists with disabilities from Szczecin to collaborate with the company of Teatr Współczesny in Szczecin to try to talk about what the desire for love is and can be today.
The performance is being created through consultations and conversations with organisations and individuals working in the field of sexual assisted living.

Reviews
- „A Midsummer Night's Dream is a multi-level spectacle, not just in terms of meaning, with great staging”.– Daniel Źródlewski, Teksty Źródłowe
- „A Midsummer Night's Dream does not take a radical stance, but seeks the truth, strongly underpinned by documentariness. (...) we are redefining what theatre is - no longer just the home of great literature and great acting creations, but a place of self-governance, activism, creative freedom and democratic decisions”.– Zofia Kowalska, Teatr dla Wszystkich
