Description

For the first time in Portugal, A Tempestade is staged with the work composer Jean Sibelius created for Shakespeare’s text, resulting in a project of encounters. First of all, two geniuses, Sibelius and Shakespeare – theatre and symphonic music. A show assumedly of epic and oneiric content. With actors, singers, choir and orchestra – Kyiv National Operetta’s Theatre, Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa and Coro do Festival de Verão – Projecto Participativo – an artistic object that aims to highlight, in 2023, the drives, emotions and relationships of human nature and, above all, what results from the dialectics between the individual and the political mechanisms of power is created. Considering what humanity is going through nowadays, with a bloody war taking place in the middle of Europe, it seems essential to put on stage as a central theme what can be read in Prospero’s message: only forgiveness and redemption can bring forth a future and an idea of continuity.

Upcoming presentations:
Theatro Circo de Braga on September 29th and 30th, Friday and Saturday at 9:30 pm, and October 1st, Sunday at 3:30 pm.
