The Wind

On the occasion of the XII World Congress on Shakespeare (Planetary Shakespeare, Verona from July 20 to July 26, 2026), the Conservatory of Verona and the Skené Group of the University of Verona, through an international call, invited artists from around the world to submit proposals for a creative text to be performed with original music accompaniment.

This initiative aimed to blend music and narrative, offering a unique performance in homage to Shakespeare's timeless legacy, exploring themes, motifs, or interpretations inspired by his work.

The winning group was Shakespeare South from Perth (Australia), led by Alys Daroy, with the text "The Wind," inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, in which the enchanted island is reimagined as a contested landscape undergoing constant environmental transformation.

The performance will be presented in English with Italian subtitles at the Nuovo Montemezzi Auditorium on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, July 26, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

Admission is free until all available seats are filled.
