Sycorax

A director attempts to give voice to Sycorax, the silenced character in Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

A short film directed by Lois Patiño ('Luna Roja') and Matías Piñeiro ('Isabella'), loosely adapting William Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', with the distinction of giving voice to a character that has no lines in the original: the titular 'Sycorax'. A cinematic exercise with a dreamy atmosphere, halfway between cinema and theater, which will undoubtedly be loved by lovers of both arts.
