Directed by Michel Lemieux, Victor Pilon and Denise Guilbault Translated into French by Normand Chaurette Blowing a virtual wind on The Tempest, mulit-media creators 4D Art have succeeded in honoring a classic through 21st century sensibilities. It’s a spectacle that combines reality and virtual reality through the combination of live actors and high-tech media (holographic projections). The borders disappear between performance, scenography, cinema, videos, dance, poetry, light, music and sound, integrating them all into one unique and unbelievable art form. In French with English supertitles.
