In her new dance piece based on motifs from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Crystal Pite stages a game of revenge and forgiveness; reality and imagination. Pite explores these motifs in two contexts: a maquette of Shakespeare’s island as a metaphor for isolation, captivity, and desire; and a nostalgic cityscape that evokes longing. Chalk-white replicas deliver the essential plot points of the story, but the emotion and tension of the narrative is fleshed out by real characters.
