Stürmen
Oper, Theater Public

With silverware and siren songs

Junge Oper of Theater Basel takes to the Kleine Bühne with a large production. In William Shakespeare's ‹The Tempest›, the storm is an artificially induced one, created by supernatural powers. It is used to resolve a conflict between brothers and to create a marriage with political implications. Along with stormy music from Henry Purcell to Henry Cowell, the young singers are inspired by Shakespeare's Tempest to reflect on the issues that matter to them: The abuse of power, a feeling of being controlled by others, anger and powerlessness, inner storm and a longing for co-determination and of course: Love.
