A (Balinese) Tempest

Directed by Larry Reed, Artistic Director of ShadowLight Productions, San Francisco
Musical Director: I Nyoman Sumandhi, Bali
Production Director: Kirstin Pauka, University of Hawaii at Manoa

In this unusual adaptation of Shakespeare’s most musical and magical play, guest artist Larry Reed fuses Balinese and Elizabethan elements with his hallmark shadowcasting method, which utilizes a giant screen and live performers to create a magical shadow theatre performance. The production will also feature live musical accompaniment by the UH Balinese Gamelan Ensemble.

Free pre-show events will be held on Saturdays at 7pm. On Jan 26 Director Larry Reed will talk about his shadowcasting method and his adaptation of "The Tempest." On Feb 2 Kathy Foley from UC-Santa Cruz will talk about Southeast Asian Theatre and its impact on the production.
