The British theatre company Propeller, is in Istanbul with two highly acclaimed Shakespeare plays. Propeller seeks to find a more engaging way of expressing Shakespeare and to more completely explore the relationship between text and performance. Mixing a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic, they have been influenced by mask work, animation and classic and modern film and music from all ages. Propeller’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has enchanted packed houses all over the world. Love and illusion collide when two pairs of lovers become entangled in fairy mischief on the eve of a royal wedding. Dreams and reality become interchangeable and romantic chaos ensues.
