Evolution of...Tempest (2012 - 2020)
The Storm / Straps (Apr.19.2012 - Mar.22.2015) - Artists: Karina Konchakivska & Suren Bozyan
While Miranda plays catch with Cali (who later steals her ball and transforms it into a red balloon that floats away), Prospera begins directing the heavens around her. She's about to summon the storm that will bring men to her island from lands far away; ascending the heavens via the Moon Goddesses crescent throne to do so. As the storm rages around us, the God and Goddess of the Wind perform an intense midair ballet on straps, "coming together and parting, intertwining their bodies and gliding through space in vigorous, frenetic movements."
Shades of blue and green mix with shades of sky and sea to compose a soothing palette of sophistication belling the harshness to come, as their muscular bodies crash together in an erotic clash of raw power and sexuality.
Aerial Straps (2012-2020) (Tempest version since 2015) Artists: Sarah Hardy, Vinnie Canovas and Haley Viloria
Three Valkyries soar over the stage and the audience with the Storm Goddess as Prospera conjures a storm that brings in a group of men, including Romeo, Miranda's new love. Suspended from the Carousel, a rotating set element high above them, this is flight in four dimensions, calling for precision timing in addition to the skills and physical strength it takes to move at high velocity through 360 degrees.
