A performance-show created by Massimo Navone with Enrico Intra to stage Shakespeare’s The Tempest in an original and unusual version, imagining an interweaving of words, sounds and images, adapted to create the magical climate of the English original of being “suspended in space and time”.

Teatro Studio Melato
Music, in its most varied and extend nature as sound, plays a key role in The Tempest which is more important than in any other of Shakespeare's works. It is the rumble of the fury of the elements which raises the curtain, and “... some heavenly music...” is what Prospero asks before snapping the wizard’s wand, celebrating the return to the real world: two opposing harmonies which open and close a fantastic tale.
Massimo Navone involves Enrico Intra, the ideal interpreter of a Prospero composer and live performer, in a show inspired by The Tempest in which different expressive languages – music, voices and gestures – harmonise with each other: the music is not a soundtrack to the drama, but rather an improvised musical creation, the movement is seen as an instrument for summarising the narration and transforming it into images which exalt the physical and sensory dimension. On stage with Enrico Intra, the singer Simona Severini, Alex Stangoni on live electronics and the dancers Donato Demita and Vito Carretta.
Duration: one hour
