Shakespeare, a popular poet in the best sense of the word, has always been a great inspiration for the Ton und Kirschen Wandertheater over the years. After staging "Shakespeare's Sonnets" and "Hamlet" some time ago, they are now staging "The Tempest". This drama, which is one of Shakespeare's most complex plays despite being very simple on the surface, is regarded as the ultimate creation myth, which sees the theater as a symbolic island of possibilities. Peter Brook's text from his last theater production "Tempest Project" provides the international ensemble of Ton und Kirschen with an excellent template for telling this story about revenge, forgiveness, rebellion and freedom in an impressive way using all the possibilities of theater, puppetry and music.
The Ton und Kirschen Wandertheater was founded in 1992 in Glindow in Potsdam-Mittelmark by Margarete Biereye and David Johnston after 20 years of theater experience with the English "Footsbarn Travelling Theatre". Today, the company consists of nine actors and musicians from Germany, England, France, Wales, Italy and Colombia. Ton und Kirschen plays a lot in Germany, especially in the state of Brandenburg, but is also often invited to international festivals, e.g. in France, Poland, India, Colombia, Korea and Morocco.
