On September 9th, the NCPA production of the Shakespearean play The Tempest returned, rounding off the NCPA International Theatre Festival 2023. Directed by the British theatre director Tim Supple, the drama was presented in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “Translation Plan for Shakespeare”.
In 2018, the NCPA established an excellent creative team for the production of its fifth Shakespearean play, The Tempest, including preeminent artists from at home and abroad, such as director Tim Supple, dramaturg Katie Ebner-Landy, and set designer LIU Xinglin.
In order to present the majestic beginning, the set designer LIU Xinglin designs a unique space for bespeaking the presence of the barren island, the sky, the unfathomable sea, and the marine peril.
In the artist PU Cunxin’s exquisite performance, the audience not only saw the Duke of Milan, who can do anything in the story, but also understood why such a monarch, who has a well-thought-out plan for revenge, finally gives up avenging himself and arranges a compromise.
LI Longyin (the 2nd from left playing Gonzalo), a veteran artist on the theatrical stage, worked with outstanding members of the NCPA Drama Ensemble members, including ZHAO Ling, FENG Yang, WANG Qianyu, LI Zhaoyang, YANG Qi, and WU Song, in playing the king and nobilities of Naples.
KANG Zhuo, Gedo, and Luosang, three young actors from the Tibet Drama Troupe, have joined the performance this time. Ariel, the most powerful elf in the play, and Caliban, a savage man on the island, are portrayed by DONG Wenliang and FU Pengxu.
Music is a crucial hidden character in the original version, and it’s also one of the greatest features. For this round, two musicians, Tulegur Gangzi and ZHAO Yu, has improvised for the African drum, the guitar, and the finger piano in multiple forms of expression including hoomei, oral stunts and live singing.
