SHORT GUIDE TO THE TEMPEST

We can see more Shakespeare in The Tempest than in the other plays by Shakespeare, ‘cause Shakespeare is Prospero more than he is Othello, Romeo (or Juliet). Prospero is a Wizard far from Home. He is alone. He wants to live his experiences under his own dress-skin-text. Under his magic dress he can find Miranda, his daughter – and you have to remember the way in witch the writer Hemingway calls Daughter his last loves. Ariel has the same substance of a dream plot. Under the magic dress of Prospero, Caliban, the monster, cries. The Tempest Enigma looks like the enigma of The Giants of the Mountain by Pirandello : in this play, Luigi Pirandello tries to change his point of view (this is the lesson by the Director Strelher; he directed both The Tempest and The Giants…). We can see the Theatre itself on stage. Prospero makes everything to come home: he dreams to come to his home, that is his stage. Fiction can build again Reality. His is the power of the Theatre. Peter Brook, an other Maestro, says: the action is setted on an Island that’s real, ‘cause they live there, but this island doesn’t exsist somewhere in the space, somewhere in the Time; there, today can be yesterday or tomorrow

CONCEPT
Prospero, the former Duke of Milan, is the main character of this play: The Tempest acted by Celebrity international group (New York, Milano, Budapest) and directed by Fabrizio Sebastian Caleffi (New York Artistic Award Winner) and by Monika Nagy is the Prospero’s Tale.
Prospero is alone. Prospero is prisoner of his dreams, his illusions, his nightmares, his past: he’s a prisoner on stage.
Prospero acts the whole plot by Shakespeare with Ariel, his Spirit, Miranda, his daughter and the ghosts of the other characters, Caliban/Ferdinand, a wild boy who will become a young man that hopes to live quiet days and Stefano Trinculo, the fool: in a way, he is William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare in Love. Shakespeare in Action.
The 80’ plot is the secret heart of the play by Shakespeare: words, music, dance for the Freedom show of a masterpiece.
