As part of our ongoing Dream project three nomads spent June in Porto Alegre in the very south of Brazil working with actors and students on a workshop production based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Luke Dixon worked with Jean Pagni and Victoria Gilmon from Europe with a group of Brazilian actors, the workshop culminating in a performance at the Sala Qorpo Santa
Playing as a child. Rediscovering the pleasure of imagination to create forests around us, believing in them, even inside the limits of the stage. Being transformed, being man, woman or fairy for some moments… and returning again to the reality, as if it was a dream, a midsummer night dream.
