What would Shakespeare think of us: Dan Poole & Giles Terera at TEDxMadrid

Dan and Giles explain Shakespism, a sort of sickness that prevents us to love and truly understand Shakespeare. But we should cure us, because Shakespeare is as relevant today as he has always been. He has already written all the difficult words and he understand humans. Because he was just a man.

The two friends, who met at drama school decided to create the Muse Of Fire project as a result of experiences they had while growing up and training. Their five year adventure around the world has sought to discover what Shakespeare means to us in the 21 Century.In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
