Une Tempête

About the show

Césaire reworks Shakespeare's island drama through a postcolonial lens, foregrounding the island's prior inhabitants and the power relations between Prospero, the white master, and his enslaved servants Ariel and Caliban. Caliban demands the name X and favors revolution, while Ariel seeks freedom without violence; Prospero frees Ariel but retains control over Caliban and the island.
