The Officine CAOS season “Differenti Sensazioni – 38th edition” reaches its peak with an event of great allure. Following the sold-out preview by Teatro del Lemming, on Friday, December 5th, the spotlight will be on the company Twain with the performance “SOGNO”, a work that transforms Shakespearean magic into a contemporary vision.
Twain physical dance theatre, directed by Loredana Parrella, is one of the most acclaimed companies on the Italian contemporary scene. Based in Rome with roots in Tuscania, Twain stands out for a language that intertwines dance, theatre, and performance, with a strong focus on cross-disciplinary contamination and the creation of works capable of engaging with the present. The company promotes international projects and artistic residencies, and is committed to supporting the new generation of performers and choreographers.

SOGNO” is freely inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s first comic masterpiece. On a summer night, reality dissolves into a play of mirrors: between enchanted woods and anarchic desires, the boundaries between truth and imagination are overturned. The misunderstandings of four lovers and the whims of fairies reveal how falling in love can rewrite the world. The dream ceases to be an escape and becomes a tool of knowledge, a vertigo that transforms perception into creation. Characters move within an atmosphere of folklore and superstition, in the heat of summer and the madness of uninhibited natural impulses. Theseus and Hippolyta, the four lovers fleeing Athens, Oberon and Titania with their amorous struggles, Puck pulling the strings of fate, and the group of amateur actors with Bottom—whose donkey’s head shares a visionary love with the Fairy Queen—all contribute to turning the dream into vision. The performance revolves around two central questions: Can we shift the meaning of “dream” towards that of “vision”? Is it love and dreaming that transform reality?
The production is a co-production with Festival Abano Danza, Fondazione Entroterre, and Mirabilia Festival, in collaboration with Narni Città Teatro, with residencies at Supercinema and Teatro Il Rivellino in Tuscania, and Teatro Luciano Bonaparte in Canino. The project is supported by the MiC – Ministry of Culture, Regione Lazio, Roma Capitale, Municipality of Viterbo, Municipality of Tuscania, Municipality of Canino, and Fondazione Carivit.
