The Fairy-Queen
Who are these creatures in the forest? Where do they come from and why are they in such a good mood? With The Fairy Queen, Henry Purcell provides the musical soundtrack for a Midsummer Night's Dream like no other. Olivia Hyunsin Kim and her team send a group of young people into a queer nocturnal forest teeming with questions, where love, desire, and flirtation are explored in all their diversity. Between fidelity, consent, and a wedding where everyone marries everyone, there’s always room for one more cheeky song!
Mingle Up
March 7: Get together from 6:40 pm
JOiN invites its audience to Mingle Up – 20 minutes before the show starts. Inspired by the concept of speed dating, this pre-show event gives audience members a chance to meet and connect through brief conversations, setting the stage for the themes of The Fairy-Queen in a relaxed atmosphere.

Meet my shrink
March 7: Post-Performance-Talk
Keith Bernard Stonum and Martin Mutschler (Artistic Directors of JOiN) and Eben Louw (Psychologist) will discuss mental health – following the performance of The Fairy-Queen and talking about its topics: marriage, consent and queer identity in and outside the forest. Due to limited seating, we ask that you purchase tickets for Meet My Shrink even if you plan to stay right after The Fairy-Queen. Please note: This event will be in English.
