SUMMARY
Prospero, the duke of Milan, immerse in his studies, is betrayed by his brother Antonio, who expels him in a coup detat and abandons him to his fate at sea, together with his little daughter Miranda. The family land on a desert island where they will live among monsters and spirits. Twelve years later, fate brings the traitors to sail near the island. The play begins precisely at this point, when Prospero provokes a tempest which drags his enemies to the island. Prospero’s magic leads the characters to a self revelation.

Just like the characters in The Tempest at this moment we find ourselves lost on the island. We walk with hope and strength towards the unknown. We can promise that it will be an intense mise en scene. A very physical and very plastic show. A waveof penetrating love, savage treason and hilarious comedy. No warm breezes admitted. Perhaps little apneas to catch your breath, to appreciate the sophisticated irony of the text.

The Tempest is the last text written by Shakespeare, the summing of his art and all his theatre experience. A tense experimental play about exploring forgiveness, about the family, the end of work, the end of energy. I set off with all my crew on a rough sea with extreme waves. We are heading directly to the epicentre of the tempest with the wind in our face and laughing our heads off. See you on the beach. (Marta Pazos, director).

THE COMPANY
Voadora is a structure which resides in Santiago de Compostela but whose nomad spirit and keenness to cooperate with other artists led it to carry out its projects and artistic residing places between Portugal and Spain.
Its work on research of contemporary creation is characterised by an important musical component, aesthetical, surprising and evocative. Parting from live music, imagination, irony and movement, Voadora builds up a very personal language which flees from the argumental to prove that there is a plot of the senses, the spaces and the feelings.

AWARDS
In 2013 they get the Critics’ Award in Galicia in the area of Stage and Audiovisual Arts. .
