Facing a death sentence, Hermia and her beloved Lysander flee to the forest of Athens, followed by Demetrius, who adores her and is in turn pursued by Helen. But it is precisely in this forest that some craftsmen have sought shelter to rehearse a play for the prince's wedding. And the fairy queen Titania and the fairy king Oberon have also found shelter in this very forest. Titania and Oberon are at loggerheads with each other. And Oberon decides to enchant Titania with a love potion. This has far-reaching consequences ...
Everything is in turmoil: desire, the sexes, the game within the game - and everything is looking for a new balance. Just like in real life.
