“The Tempest” increasingly became a romantic and operatic fairy tale, with the leading role played by a ballet dancer floating across the stage in a bright leotard and silver tulle wings. The true tempest is menacing and raw, lyrical and grotesque, it is – like all of Shakespeare’s great works – a passionate engagement with the real world.” Jan Kott
