Voice and body become raw, explosive forces in Arianna Scommegna’s performance of Cleopatràs—an intense monologue by visionary playwright Giovanni Testori, known for blending the sacred and the profane in a language that is uniquely his own. Directed by Gigi Dall’Aglio, the production is stripped-down yet filled with ancestral, almost tribal energy. Language takes center stage, amplified by the warm, improvised sound of a live cello. A powerful performance that earned recognition from the Italian National Association of Theatre Critics.
