Theatre of Glass
Tempestade
(Temp-esh-tahd)

Shakespeare’s The Tempest is retold in a highly original piece of visual theatre that makes innovative use of crafted glass to cast wonderful shadows on a cinematic scale. Glass puppetry provides figures that dance in beams of light, combined with scenes made by the manipulation of sand and water in a continual process of magical transformation. An ever-changing cascade of images blends with live music created by a mix of specially made glass instruments, traditional strings and new technologies.

Theatre of Glass is a collaboration between artists in Portugal and England, exploring advanced puppetry to create surprising contemporary theatre.
