"The Tempest" is a story that unfolds over the course of several hours on an island far from any known land, during which all the characters are confronted with their sins, desires, weaknesses, and above all, their past and identity. The storm is the atmospheric phenomenon that initiates the action. It is also the state in which the characters find themselves throughout the action—as individuals and as a community. It is a state of heightened self-discovery. When the state ends, the storm subsides. The world, transformed, returns to normal. "The Tempest" is not only a story full of twists and turns about the characters' adventures, but also about the adventures of their consciousness, imagination, and conscience; a matrix of experience that opens up to the observer. It is a story about gaining self-awareness and finding ways to build relationships with a dynamic self, a dynamic world, and a dynamic identity. And finally, "The Tempest" is a story about art: its power to transform all those involved. About its inherent ability to imagine those we are not, and that which has no physical form.

How do I play Ariel? How do I portray breath, thought, presence—words in action? How do I play Caliban, the one who situates himself beyond language? What does it mean to be the King of Naples? What makes him this character? And how, as a twenty-three-year-old actor, can I imagine myself as Prospero, ruler of Milan?

The show is co-financed from the budget of the Łódź Voivodeship Government.
