La MaMa presents NELLA TEMPESTA by Motus Theatre

December 11 - 21, 2014

Italy's Motus Theatre returns to New York with NELLA TEMPESTA, the third and final production in La MaMa's Tempest 3 series.

Motus' Nella Tempesta creates a short circuit between Shakespeare's The Tempest and Une Tempête by Aimé Césaire. Reflecting on the turmoil in our society and the consequences of the economic crisis, the performance also speaks about storms in the Mediterranean Sea, which are sinking the migrants ships that set sail from the coast of North Africa to reach Europe-"Brave new world," to quote Miranda and Aldous Huxley.

Audiences are encouraged to bring unwanted blankets to the performance that will be used in the show and then donated to a local organization after the run. So consider bringing a clean blanket to The Ellen Stewart Theatre when you come see Nella Tempesta, see it used in the show, and know that it will be given to someone who needs it after the run.
