The Tempest

The Tempest

by William Shakespeare (in German only)

Small-scale venue performance for up to 1000 spectators. Premiere in 2012 within the scope of the Internationale Sommerbühne Wolfsburg [International Summer Stage Wolfsburg]

The story starts with a shipwreck which is an actual occurrence as well as a symbol: life – a shipwreck. Dangers loom from many corners: a person is subject to natural forces as well as to dangers which come from within. And on an uncharted island, strange monsters may not be the greatest threat. Instead humans are the most dangerous animal to humans.
