Description
"The Great Magic," written by Eduardo De Filippo, delves into the challenges and difficulties of human relationships through the character of Calogero Di Spelta, a betrayed husband who embodies insecurity and the fear of losing control. His need for certainty leads him to symbolically confine his emotions in a "box," creating a safe space for himself.
In contrast to Calogero is Otto Marvuglia, a magician who manipulates reality and context, reflecting the uncertainty of modern relationships. The performance oscillates between the true and the false, the real and the imaginary, inviting the audience to question what is authentic and what is illusory.
Originally premiered in 1948, the text sparked controversial reactions, but today it offers a profound reflection on our emotions, uncertainties, and obsessions, making it timely and relevant. It is a dark, ambiguous, and complex comedy that tackles universal themes related to family and life.
This thought-provoking play promises to engage audiences with its intricate exploration of human nature and the often blurry lines between reality and illusion. Don’t miss the chance to experience "The Great Magic" at Teatro Umberto Giordano!
