The Storm / Straps
(Main | Apr.19.2012 - Mar.22.2015)


Prospera plays a dramatic cello solo to summon a ferocious storm. Thunder and lightning erupt and a pair of artists – 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.

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.

As the storm subsides, Prospera and Deeda (Miranda's nurse), look over the gaggle of men who – captured by a net – wash ashore. At first the two chuckle as the men bumble and fumble over one another in a futile attempt to extricate themselves from their imprisonment; however, when one particularly striking young man (Romeo) catches the eye of Miranda, time seems to stand still; Prospera's enigmatic expression betrays little and Miranda is whisked away...
