"The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance."
In the golden age of sea exploration, a wronged Duke controls the spiritual realm, but can he pass his power to a more peaceful generation and forgive those who stole his freedom? The enchanted isle of NDSF's The Tempest was created using aerial acrobatics and wind illusions. Directed by West Hyler, best known as the stage director for Paramour, Cirque du Soleil's first-ever production on Broadway.
