In the organizer's words:

Prospero, formerly Duke of Milan, lives on a deserted island. Years before, he had been deposed from the throne by an intrigue of his brother Antonio and abandoned in a boat on the open sea. Miraculously, he saved himself together with daughter Miranda on this island. Here he has built a new world and reigns unrestricted over creatures and spirits - like Caliban or the air spirit Ariel, the natives of the isle. One day Prospero sighted the fleet of Alonso, King of Naples, which also included his brother Antonio and the king's son Ferdinand. With Ariel's help, he unleashes a storm that capsizes and strands them. Through this staged shipwreck, Prospero is now back in the powerful position, has the chance for late revenge or reconciliation, and pulls all the threads of fate together anew. The Tempest of 1611 is one of William Shakespeare's last works and his ultimate creation myth, which sees the theater as a symbolic island of possibilities. The exceptional situation becomes an experiment in a new beginning: What would I do if I were king? Shakespeare playfully touches on themes such as power and oppression, exploitation and appropriation, nature and civilization. Jakob Nolte's approach to The Tempest is a special new translation that shimmies word by word through the Old English original. The result is a fantasy language that decodes itself through melody and sound and is as enchantingly strange as the inhabitants of that island.
