Among Shakespeare’s most sophisticated and beloved tragedies, King Lear has always served as a magnifying glass for the fragilities and madness of the human soul.
Giving voice to the aging monarch—now disillusioned with the world—is Gabriele Lavia, who masterfully guides this intricate tale marked by a series of losses: of reason, of a kingdom, and of kinship. On stage with him: Giovanni Arezzo, Giuseppe Benvegna, Eleonora Bernazza, Jacopo Carta, Beatrice Ceccherini, Federica Di Martino, Ian Gualdani, Luca Lazzareschi, Mauro Mandolini, Andrea Nicolini, Gianluca Scaccia, Silvia Siravo, Jacopo Venturiero, and Lorenzo Volpe.
