DATtheater – De storm

Yep, the time has finally come.
DATtheater plays a play by Shakespeare. It's not what you think, because it will be a contemporary, accessible performance. The storm is like a storm in your head. You want to settle with the past, express your feelings of revenge for everything that has been taken from you. What if you could literally stir up that storm to play with the people who took away your power?

Prospero, Duke of Milan and powerful monarch, is banished to a deserted island by the King of Naples through foul play. There he controls the lives of his daughter Miranda, the air spirit Ariel and Caliban, the original inhabitant of the island.

Prospero seeks revenge and seizes his opportunity when a ship carrying his arch-rivals passes by.
By unleashing a magical storm, the king's ship is wrecked and the passengers are washed ashore on the island. Among them is Ferdinand, the king's son, who immediately loses his heart to Prospero's daughter, Miranda. Revenge may taste sweet, but wouldn't forgiveness make it even more powerful? An energetic, “magical” performance full of humor, movement and drama.
