Peter Brook, one of the most influential directors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, is considered a ‘magic doctor of the theatre’ whose trick is to focus on the essential. He died in the summer of 2022 shortly after the premiere of Tempest Project, which had been created together with his long-time collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne. The production is the result of a lifetime of research on Shakespeare’s The Tempest and it reflects Brook’s art: language and shadows interact to unfold imagination in the empty space. The play ends on the final word ‘free’ – probably the last word Shakespeare ever wrote. Tempest Project is a metaphysical reflection about different notions of freedom, where biting humour meets refined poetry. The audience is invited to join the seven actors in celebrating a final encounter with theatre traditions à la Brook.
