THE TEMPEST, after William Shakespeare

26 November | 19:00 – www.fnt.ro

The show has been available for online viewing from Thursday 26 November 19:00 till Saturday 28 November 19.00.

A fairy tale about a king who lost his kingdom, becoming the magician Prospero, and his daughter, Miranda. A comedy of illusions, an extravaganza, a text about power and revenge. The Tempest is, above all, a play about the demiurgical power of art and imagination. Prospero’s knowledge goes beyond the laws of the humans, controls nature, rules over spirits and conjures love.
