Directed again by Janina Picard, the performance creates an immersive island where Caliban’s mother, the powerful witch Sycorax, is finally given a voice, providing a fresh take in this story of justice, restoration, freedom and forgiveness. The cast of seven performers includes Anna Bikales, Craig Bacon, Jacquie Bonnet, Blake Brundy, Flavio Gaete, and Clara Tristan.<h3>About the Music</h3>This production showcases an entirely original score composed by our music director Flavio Gaete, with a single exception: the overture incorporates an adaptation of the Largo movement from Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, seamlessly woven into a medley that transitions into Sycorax's opening number. The orchestration blends classical and contemporary elements, featuring harp and viola alongside electric guitar and bass, with the entire ensemble contributing vocally. The incidental music explores evocative sonic textures through harp and guitar effects—conjuring the tempest itself through distortion, echoes, reverberations and atmospheric soundscapes that enhance the dramatic narrative.
