Shakespeare’s brilliant last play, The Tempest, written as Europe was taking its first step towards colonialism, is a tale about power – exercised weakly, usurped violently, and regained through strategy and showmanship. We Caliban sees this story through the eyes of Caliban, a minor character in the play whose life is changed forever when the power games of distant lands and unknown peoples are played out in his own remote island, making him a “monstrous” servant to a new master and his young daughter. Jeyasingh’s bold and imaginative new work is partnered by visually stunning projections by Will Duke and music by Thierry Pécou. We Caliban is performed by eight of Britain’s most talented dancers.
