FOCUS BERARDI / CASOLARI
On the contemporary Italian theatre scene, the duo Berardi/Casolari stands out for work that interweaves writing for the stage, autobiography and reinterpretations of the classics. Their stripped-back, direct theatre uses humour and a critical eye to explore a present shaped by personal crises and political tensions. In 2026, the President of the Italian Republic appointed both artists Officers of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
Hamlet Take Away is a tragicomic portrait of the contradictions of our time. On stage, life and theatre intertwine amid humour and crisis. Hamlet, the embodiment of doubt, becomes a digital antihero: “To be or FB?”. Between reality and social media, Ophelia and virtual worlds, failure and the need to exist, everything is turned upside down.
