Premiere - 9th May 2019 Centro Cultural de Belém Lisbon, Portugal


In the dark heart of the Storm, Prospero grows old, mysterious and alone.
He dreams up stories of wonder: sometimes a castaway, sometimes a magical creature, sometimes free, sometimes a prisoner.
The island is a dream machine made of air, sounds and words. Things you hear like shooting stars leave their trail.
A show that takes William Shakespeare's The Tempest as its starting point, to experiment with the echo of words and sound as an exercise in individual imagination.
