Shakespeare's work offers the touring theater TON UND KIRSCHEN and its international ensemble a great source of inspiration and every opportunity to tell this story of revenge, forgiveness, rebellion and freedom with theater, puppetry and music.
Despite everything, The Tempest remains a mystery. In which the search for revenge is almost imperceptibly combined with the search for peace and ultimately freedom. But one can also ask oneself (again and again) why this letting go should supposedly only be possible at the end of life and not before. (Tagesspiegel, PNN, Astrid Priebs-Tröger, September 2023)
The Glindow-based theater ensemble needs little to keep the imagination going. A small toy ship that is capsized by the cloth waves tells the rest. Nothing more is needed. Because on stage, only the power of the imagination reigns, triggered by the actors' wit and enthusiasm. And they are concerned with the core of Shakespeare's 1611 comedy: the relationship between nature and culture, submission and resistance, and ultimately the mechanisms of power and the arduous struggle for freedom and self-determination.
