Profile of The Tempest
The Tempest can be described as stylized, atmospheric, and offbeat. The plot revolves around wizards and magicians, isolation, and curses, spells and rituals. The main genres are drama, independent, and period. In terms of style, The Tempest features an all-star cast, stars a strong female character, and is surreal. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, on an island. The Tempest takes place in the 16th century and in the 17th century. It is adapted from a play. Note that it involves brief nudity.
Summary of The Tempest
In Julie Taymor's version of 'The Tempest,' the gender of Prospero has been switched to Prospera. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor's version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it's a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda. This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect.
