Two More Days
The last two days on this island. The last two days of its quiet fury. And the humans – they always take two more days!
Prospero and his offspring live on an island inhabited by spirits and mystical creatures. It is far in the north, at the end of the world. They have been there in exile for the past twelve years. Today, an opportunity presents itself: they can escape their dire situation in two more days and return to civilisation.
The working group of Two More Days: The Tempest Resummoned by the Baltic Sea partnered with the Baltic Sea to seek its guidance in imagining possibilities for continuing life on this Earth we have adopted, mistreated, and continue to abuse. It combines different versions of William Shakespeares (arguably) last play, The Tempest.
This production is an element of Maaten’s artistic research for directing with natural non-human collaborators.
