Yohangza Theatre Company’s production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will transport you to a world of unforgettable fantasy through dance, movement, voice, and percussion. This production with the plot subtly altered to incorporate Korean myth and folklore, powerfully appropriates the Shakespearean original to present a compelling re-telling, infused with wit and pageantry that is uniquely Korean. InKo Centre, in partnership with the Korea Foundation, premiered ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in association with AsiaNow Production at The Hindu Metroplus Theatre Fest in Chennai in 1 August 2008. The production which wowed audiences in physical theatre spaces now returns online!
Distinctly Korean in flavour, Yohangza's work presents an exciting collision of the past and the present, a reworking of existing Korean styles and themes infused with contemporary elements and driven by a thirst for experimentation. The result is a compelling and fresh mix of dance, voice and percussion interwoven with stories of Korean folklore, mythology and history. Each piece is a sensory and aesthetic journey drawing us to both past and future and always strongly connected with Korea's identity and sprit.
The production which wowed audiences in physical theatre spaces when it premiered in India in 2009, now returns online!
