Imagine a dystopian world far, far in the future: the Polar Regions have melted, earth’s seas have risen, and the coastlines are threatened. The WalGard Company—an alliance of government, corporate, and religious extremists—supervises a colossal Wall that stands between humans and the toxic waters that could potentially wipe out the human race. Imagination has stagnated and the society has been divided into the workers who must maintain the Wall and their masters.  But some workers who have been infected are beginning to see visions of another world, and other possibilities of freedom. Enter the Temp who will begin a new way of “seeing”, a revolution for  humankind. Lumina’s THE TEMP(est) is a spirited—and timely—adaptation of Shakespeare’s last great masterpiece which shows us the value of creativity in a world of worker struggles and ecological challenges. As a breach in the Wall threatens the very existence of humanity, the vision of Prospera’s magic, Ariel’s energy, and the young lovers’ optimism points the way to a brave new world.
