"The production that just opened at OSF, directed by Marcela Lorca, is the best I have seen. Working with a strong cast and a spectacular movement and design team, this production crackles with vitality and originality."
"Lorca's direction reflects a deep understanding of movement as a storytelling tool. Her formation as an artist occurred in her native Chile under a period of dictatorship, and she has spoken of how her artistic sensibilities were shaped by creative work done under circumstances of oppression."
"Shakespeare's delicious words are enhanced by movement whose intention feels somehow deeper and richer: the sparring between the four confused and mismatched lovers is delightfully droll, embodying the exaggerated passion of young love."
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival has launched its 91st season with three notable productions, including A Midsummer Night's Dream and Come From Away, both directed by Latinas. These shows are expected to attract large audiences and encourage attendance at other performances like A Raisin in the Sun. A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Marcela Lorca, stands out for its vitality and originality, showcasing a deep understanding of movement as a storytelling tool, influenced by Lorca's artistic background in Chile during a dictatorship.
