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.
