Richard III

Richard III has always fascinated for his violent, manipulative and lonely dimension: a deformed and idle murderer, the Duke of Gloucester is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and represented villains in Shakespeare's repertoire.

This imposing literary figure is here dealt with by the young and prominent Hungarian director Kriszta Székely, who, after the success in Turin and Budapest of her Uncle Vanja, has joined the artistic nucleus of the Teatro Stabile di Torino as an associate artist.

In her productions, both of prose and opera, there is always a strong political and civil commitment, as well as a careful analysis of the roles, real or presumed, that are attributed to us by society.

In her hands, Richard III, played by the two-time Ubu Prize winner Paolo Pierobon, already the protagonist of Vanja, cannot but become an even more ferocious and bitter critique of the desire for power and self-assertion that characterises all totalitarianism.
