Shobana Jeyasingh Dance: We Caliban review – postcolonial take on The Tempest is difficult to pin down
NeutralEntertainment

Shobana Jeyasingh's latest dance piece, We Caliban, offers a postcolonial interpretation of Shakespeare's The Tempest, but it struggles to effectively communicate its themes. While Jeyasingh's choreography is noted for its precision, the portrayal of Caliban's complex relationship with servitude and resistance feels somewhat lost among the multitude of ideas presented. This work is significant as it reflects ongoing discussions about colonialism and identity in contemporary art, yet it leaves audiences wanting a clearer narrative.
