"Caliban by the Yellow Sands" by Percy Mackaye is a community masque written in the early 20th century. This work creatively commemorates the tercentenary of Shakespeare's death, drawing inspiration primarily from his play "The Tempest." The narrative develops around the character of Caliban, exploring themes such as the struggle for freedom, the transformative power of art, and the collective expression of humanity through theater. The opening of the masque introduces a dark and mystical setting within the cave of Setebos, where Caliban, Sycorax, and Ariel interact amidst the looming presence of Setebos, the idol representing primitive forces. As Ariel longs for freedom from his confinement, Caliban is driven by the desire for power and acknowledgment of his potential. The atmosphere oscillates between the grotesque and the poetic as Caliban grapples with his identity, while the chorus of spirits sings about a collective yearning for liberation. This introductory scene sets the stage for a dramatic exploration of art's capacity to elevate the human spirit above the base instincts represented by Setebos and his priests.
