Shakespeare's work has fascinated the audience for centuries and is an indispensable source of inspiration for many theater groups worldwide. The hiking theater group Ton and Kirschen is now bringing a new staging to the stage with “Der Sturm”, which is supposed to address both theater lovers and newcomers. The group, which was founded in 1992 and is based in Werder (Havel), uses its extensive experiences to interpret Shakespeare's text in a fresh and unique way.

The staging is based on the text of Peter Brook's last theater production "Tempest Project" and combines an international ensemble that creates its creative process with a mixture of theater play, Marionette art and music. These combinations make “the storm” an impressive performance on topics such as revenge, forgiveness and longing for freedom.

artistic direction and ensemble

The artistic direction is in the hands of Margarete Biereye and David Johnston, both of whom look back on a theater experience over twenty years. Your knowledge and experience, among other things at Footsbarn Traveling Theater, allow you to put together a nine -person ensemble that consists of actors from Australia, Germany, England, Wales, France and Colombia. This not only promotes diversity, but also brings different cultural perspectives on stage.

Thanks to this internationally composed group, stories that Shakespeare wrote centuries ago can be revealed and made tangible. The rehearsals and the production of costumes, props and even puppets take place in Glindow, which supports the creative process before appearing in different cities.

tone and cherries have brought a variety of productions on stage in recent years, including classics and contemporary works that are supposed to inspire the audience. "The Sturm" is the latest in an impressive series of 24 productions that the theater has brought on stage since it was founded. From "Hamlet" to "The Legend of the Holy Drinker", the theater group shows a wide range of pieces that show how alive and customizable theater can be today.

Entry into the world of fairy tales and imagination

The representation of "The Sturm" takes place not only in well -known theater halls, but also outdoors, which increases the accessibility and atmosphere of the performance. In a world in which the fascination for modern technology prevails, the hiking theater offers a welcome change by taking people into the world of fairy tales and imagination. The special thing about it is that the viewers are not only passive observers, but part of a dynamic process that promotes creativity and sense of community.

In addition, production promotion refers to the support of cultural institutions such as the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg and the Potsdam/Mittelmark cultural office, which underlines the importance of the cultural work of this theater group. It shows that the hiking theater is not only anchored locally, but is also valued on a wider level.

Overall, the performance of "Der Sturm" by the group Ton and cherries embodies a modern theater experience that respects the original ideas of Shakespeare and at the same time prepares for a current audience. This innovative approach to classic works will certainly lead to many spectators to enjoy these timeless topics.
