Description

Theatre in nature or play within the play, both productions appear as reappropriations of Shakespeare's play, in which Caliban and Ariel stand for all Aborigenes dispossessed by colonization represented by a complex Prospero who makes First Nations his slaves while appearing as their reflection.
