Antony and Cleopatra

About

Anthony and Cleopatra, as Gilberto Sacerdoti suggests, is an optical prism: “Seen from the front, it is the story of love and politics narrated by Plutarch. Seen from the side, it pushes us to decipher “the infinite book of secrets of nature”. «Over this disenchanted and mysterious work – says Valter Malosti – which mixes the tragic, the comic, the sacred and the grotesque, over this marvelous philosophical and mystical (and alchemical) poem that sanctifies eros, written in verses that are among the highest and most evocative of all Shakespearean works, hovers […] the shadow of our great philosopher Giordano Bruno: a theater of the mind that demands a new heaven and a new earth ».
