Enrico IV

About

Theatrical make-believe stands at the core of the production: a hall-of-mirrors between reality and imagination. The original text is streamlined into contemporary language, with staging that constantly alternates between the feel of an open rehearsal and that of a formal performance. In the title role, Carlo Cecchi draws on his charisma to unleash irony, sarcasm, and brilliant off-script insights. The production explores madness as a conscious choice and as a refuge from reality, reframing tragedy as a modern farce.
