From september 3rd to sepember 20th at 9:00 pm Silvano Toti Globe Theatre houses the first of “Otello” directed by Marco Carniti and translated by Vittorio Gassman.

Otello is a big metaphor of human identity and weakness. A modern tragedy that explores a deep and psychological drama. Here’s the main characters: Otello (Maurizio Donadoni), a man of hierarchy and discipline, Desdemona (Maria Chiara Centorami), who represents for him seduction and the cultural integration desire and Iago (Gianluigi Fogacci), the mind work, the inventor of an inevitable way for all the characters which will be a mortal trap also for himself. The director explains it in this way: «Shakespeare doesn’t only propose political and racial perspectives of the problem, but he also develops it deeply to talk about man’s soul. He explores huaman psyche’s labyrinth to learn it’s inside ourselves. The dark side that ruins the human being. The side which doesn’t follow the intellect and it leaves to intuicion and instinct the final solution. Only by brightening this dark side up we can be Otello nowadays». Carniti represents all this by using a scenic design dominated by a seires of fences which create a symbolic tunnel where the field of action of each one curbs to death.

The performance will be exciting. It will involve the entire public, leading it inside an enigmatic path of a silent self distruction. Evil wins, hate wins. But, in the end, Art wins.
