Tempest

Set on a remote island, surrounded only by water, William Shakespeare’s The Tempest tells a tale of language and land, of art, power and mortality. The main character Prospero, an exiled socerer, is seen as a symbol of Shakespeare himself, using his creative powers to shape and control the world around him. Moved by the Motion weaves together Shakespeare’s play with elements of sci-fi, satire, and the magic act of theatre itself. The play takes us into the near future, where the sea levels have risen to apocalyptic levels – leaving the few remaining humans to confront their humanity.
