THE TEMPEST by Shakespeare

SHAKESPEARE is an indispensable source for our touring theatre to which we always like to return. Having brought SHAKESPEARE'S SONETTE and HAMLET to the stage some time ago, now comes THE STORM.
 
We became aware of Peter Brook's adaptation of the original Tempest Project theatre production, condensed to the core of the original work, and found in it a guide for our 9-person ensemble to shape our ideas.
 
THE STORM is a mystery in which the search for revenge is combined with the search for peace in order to achieve freedom at the end of an adventure marked by these opposites; this text concludes Shakespeare's theatre with the final word "free". (Peter Brook)
(Peter Brook)

Despite everything, "The Tempest’ remains a mystery. In which the search for revenge is almost imperceptibly combined with the search for peace and ultimately freedom. But one can also ask oneself (again and again) why this letting go should supposedly only be possible at the end of life and not before.

Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung, Mathias Richter, September 2023

The Glindow-based theatre ensemble needs little to keep the imagination going. A small toy ship, which is capsized by the waves of cloth, tells the rest. Nothing more is needed. Because on stage, only the power of the imagination reigns, triggered by the humour and joy of the actors. And they are concerned with the core of Shakespeare's 1611 comedy: the relationship between nature and culture, submission and resistance, and ultimately the mechanisms of power and the arduous struggle for freedom and self-determination.

The seven-strong company from Glindow near Werder opens the Potsdam Schirrhof Nights with Shakespeare’s The Tempest. A poetic summer evening that leaves nothing to be desired.
