Details

Prospero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero's spell. Shakespeare's last play. Direct from its multi-award-winning season in Montreal, this high-tech Tempest is one of the most innovative theatrical productions of all time. Using live performance integrated with cinema, video, visual art, light, design and music, this astonishing slice of multi-media theatre has audiences gasping at its stunning special effects. But it also sticks closely to Shakespeare's original script... Performed in French with English titles.
