ABOUT THE PLAY Fores(t)empestDid you know that 40 million years ago the Öresund was a forest of birch trees, that today lies trapped under the sea between Sweden and its neighbours?
Follow the tale of Miranda, herself trapped on a remote, magical island, with an overbearing father Prospero and a lump of precious amber, as she deliberates between 2 princes - one of them Prince Caliban. Follow Miranda below the waves where she meets an alter ego Anahi, trapped inside a tree on the polluted seabed for the last 500 years...
Discover a tale of drowned slaves and self-liberation, a power struggle between nature and artifice, where only re-awakened memories and the discovery of a shared language will perhaps prove the way forward.
Fores(t)empest carries the audience on a dramatic thematic journey between land and sea, using Shakespearean text, Latin American traditional fairy tale and modern dialogue blended with puppetry, mime, physical theatre, sound and movement, to create a folk tale of our time.
*Like all the work of director Mariana Araoz, this colourful performance piece is strongly influenced by traditions from the world of puppetry, mask, dance and drama.ON STAGE: Nils Peder Holm, Vanessa Poole.FORES(T)EMPEST first premiered at Skillinge Teater Sweden in 2023 and is now touring to Lund, Malmö and Paris as well as Copenhagen in 2025.(Not recommended for ages under 13.)*WITH THANKS FOR THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO Region Skåne, Lunds Kommun and Stenkrossen Lund in Sweden, as well as the City of Paris.Theatre in-Balance in Sweden is an affiliated member of Teatercentrum Södra and Malmö Scenfest.
