La tempête

Professional show designed and directed by Philippe Berling and Nathalie Prats. With Valérie Delbore, Pierre Pompon, Patrick Pompon, Pascale Corot and Philippe Berling.

"The Tempest", Shakespeare's last play, is a hymn to freedom, to all kinds of freedom, and to the power of the theatre. Prospero, Duke of Milan, is more interested in white magic than power. His brother Antonio, to whom he has entrusted the reins of his city, takes advantage of the situation to chase him away with his daughter Miranda on a frail skiff. Prospero manages to find refuge on a deserted island. On the island he finds fantastic creatures that he uses to his advantage: Ariel, an air spirit who can do anything without being seen, and Caliban, who looks like a cannibal. Twelve years on, Miranda is now a pretty young girl. The ship of the treacherous brother and his ally, the King of Naples, passes within range of the island. Prospero unleashes a storm that will leave his enemies at his mercy...
