Enter the realm of passion and politics in William Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, “Antony and Cleopatra”, gracing the stage at the Goldoni Theater from March 14th to 17th, 2024. Valter Malosti and Anna Della Rosa breathe life into the iconic roles of Antony and Cleopatra, unfolding a saga of love that transcends all boundaries amidst the clash of swords and the intricate web of political intrigue.
Penned between 1607 and 1608, Shakespeare’s verses resonate as some of the most poignant and evocative in the playwright’s repertoire. The narrative traverses the dichotomies between masculine and feminine, duty and desire, and the realms of the bedchamber and the battlefield. Antony and Cleopatra emerge as formidable figures, their fervent passion defying the constraints of reason and political maneuvering.
Valter Malosti, in his dual role as director and performer, dives into the complexities of this Shakespearean opus, steering away from the Hollywood portrayals ingrained in collective memory. He delves into the work’s enchanting blend of tragedy, comedy, mysticism, and the grotesque, encapsulating a philosophical and mystical poem that sanctifies the concept of eros.
With Anna Della Rosa embodying the enigmatic Cleopatra alongside Valter Malosti’s portrayal of Antony, the cast, including Danilo Nigrelli, Dario Battaglia, Massimo Verdastro, Paolo Giangrasso, and others, brings to life the multifaceted characters entwined in a narrative that defies death and containment.
“Antony and Cleopatra”, under the directorial prowess of Valter Malosti, promises an enthralling experience, redefining love, politics, and the eternal quest for freedom in a realm where passion reigns supreme.
