Baroque Dances and the Fairy Queen
You are all invited to dance in the forest of the Fairy Queen, who will have to resolve certain conflicts existing among humans. There will be magic potions in the night, mystery, silence, and sleep—lots of sleep. But beware: remember not to rub your eyes, as reality might change! We will travel back to the Baroque period to find out what happens to the Fairy Queen and the enchanted forest. Will all the characters in this beautiful story be able to reconcile?
