Visually and musically captivating, this is a thought-provoking production, with a framework that blends with Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to comment on emotional abuse and psychological manipulation. Not without lighter moments, nonetheless. Speaking to Elżbieta Krajewska are director Kamila Siwińska, music director Krzysztof Garstka, tenor Aleksander Rewiński (Mystery) and soprano Małgorzata Trojanowska (Fairy).
