The African Grove TheaterIn this playful adaptation of Shakespeare's Pericles, the poet Gower guides the audience through a fantastical journey of shipwrecks, love, loss, and miraculous reunions, blending ancient storytelling with contemporary humor.
Told through Gower's eyes, the scenic world unfolds as a collage of fragments from different places and times, continually rearranged and transformed to bring the story to life. The entire theater becomes a space where the act of storytelling itself is on display. With the theater's architecture and technical equipment deliberately exposed, the audience witnesses an ancient tale being constructed in the present.
