Staged by Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne -an emblematic duo of European theater- and performed by a Chilean cast, this production plunges into the essence of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne's version of The Tempest, William Shakespeare's last play, strips away some scenes and secondary characters, leaving it only to its essence: the focus lies on yearning for freedom, as it is the key concept longed for by its protagonists. As is always the case with Shakespeare, the word comes to our ears as a suggestion, from where it keeps echoing.
On the island where they are confined, Caliban, the slave, is longing for freedom. Ariel, the spirit, also seeks freedom, but in a different sense. Also, Duke Prospero must free himself from the self-inflicted task of revenge, which prevents him from being free. The duke, immersed in his books in search of the hidden, had kept himself in his dreams, only to be betrayed by his brother. Upon his arrival as an exile on the island, one would think that he finally would find freedom, since he possesses the art of magic and can transform the elements at will.
The French premiere with the cast of Theâtre des Bouffes du Nord was the result of a laboratory carried out in 2020. The Spanish version to be performed in Chile counts on an outstanding national cast and will be directed from France, by the legendary creative duo Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne. A co-production between Fundación Teatro a Mil and Teatro Nacional Chileno, with Amalá Saint-Pierre as the assistant director.

"Tempest Project es una depurada puesta en escena afianzada en la teoría del espacio vacío de Peter Brook, en el que prima el despojo de todo elemento no esencial y se impone un minimalismo que apela a la imaginación del espectador como soportes básicos".
"Un nivel interpretativo superlativo, con convicción dramática y escénica que transmite esta entretenida, ágil, y siempre existencialista recreación de La tempestad".
"Tempest Project hace la conjunción con el pasado, simbolizando la atemporalidad de las obras de Shakespeare".
“El lúcido prólogo deja en el ambiente un perfume de magia que convoca los buenos espíritus de la escena, una invitación para dejarnos atrapar por el conjuro que esconde la obra”. El Periódico (España) sobre Tempest Project.
“Según las crónicas periodísticas, el maestro salió al escenario del Teatro Lliure de Montjuïch a saludar a la platea y el público se puso en pie para dedicarle una ovación. Es fácil de imaginar esa escena, Brook es uno de las figuras claves de la renovación teatral del siglo pasado”. La Nación (Argentina) sobre Tempest Project.
"Puro Shakespeare. Puro Brook.” Diario El País, España
" Esta versión de La Tempestad logró su misión y mantuvo cautivo al público desde el inicio, con una propuesta simple, que consiguió hacernos viajar a las temáticas que Shakespeare, talentosamente, dibujó en sus textos. Logró llevar a escena, de manera virtuosa, el último texto de Shakespeare" Pressenza.com
-Por su director, Peter Brook, que es considerado como una de las figuras más importantes del teatro contemporáneo. Su estrecha relación con el trabajo dramatúrgico de Shakespeare lo ha transformado en un referente a la hora de interpretar las obras del Bardo, teniendo éxito rotundo en todas sus adaptaciones.
-Por el éxito que ha tenido este montaje que, siendo aplaudido por la crítica europea, destaca por su mezcla entre simpleza y complejidad. Su paso por el Festival Grec, de Barcelona, fue reconocido por la prensa con frases como “El Grec pone en lo más alto el listón de calidad con el estreno de ‘Tempest Project’ en el Lliure”, plasmada en una crítica de El País, de España.
-Por el texto que, según el medio español El Periódico, es considerado como “el testamento literario del Bardo”. Un texto dramático y tragicómico que plasma toda la complejidad y simbolismo de Shakespeare y que, tras la dirección de Peter Brook y Marie-Hélène Estienne, adquiere un foco único.
