From March 7 to 9, 2025, the Goldoni Theater will host the acclaimed comedy Ciarlatani by Spanish playwright and director Pablo Remón, renowned for his Lope de Vega Prize for Theater (2014) and Premio Nacional de Literatura Dramática (2021). Featuring a stellar cast, including the incomparable Silvio Orlando alongside Francesca Botti, Francesco Brandi, and Blu Yoshimi, this production promises an unforgettable theatrical experience.
In Ciarlatani, four actors portray a kaleidoscope of characters across a tapestry of settings and timelines. The play offers a satirical exploration of the theater world, interwoven with poignant reflections on success, failure, and the pursuit of creative fulfillment.
At its heart are Anna Velasco, an actress striving for recognition, and Diego Fontana, a celebrated director confronting his own doubts. Their stories unfold alongside the struggles of an author defending himself against accusations of plagiarism. These parallel narratives intertwine, mirroring themes of ambition, identity, and vulnerability.
Remón’s innovative approach blends theatrical storytelling with cinematic and novelistic elements, creating a dynamic and multi-layered narrative. With its sharp humor and profound insight, Ciarlatani captures the chaotic beauty of the creative process and the relentless quest for validation.
Don’t miss this unique theatrical experience at the Goldoni Theater. Ciarlatani is a celebration of art, resilience, and the human spirit—an ode to both the triumphs and absurdities of life on and off the stage.
