The play “A Solstice Night's Dream”, which has been based on the “A Midsummer Night's Dream” by William Shakespeare, invites to go on a walk and to surrender to the adventure of sensations, lights and sounds that in the most magical time of summer in the legendary LVM Pokaiņi Forest will create a real summer solstice mystery with the elements of theatre, contemporary dance and aerial dance. The plays will take place on June 19 and 20 at 8 PM and 10 PM.

One of the most popular works of Shakespeare has been turned into a form of walking play. It will allow living through the story of love's magic, human and fairy world, mystical and reality.

The play has been created in the framework of community theatre project “Latvia's stories. Shakespeare meets Blaumanis”, with the local theatre community working together with professional artists.
