Romeo and Juliet: The Tragic Love
On July 13, at 21 pm, the Artenauta Teatro theatre workshop, directed by Simona Tortora, will present “Romeo and Juliet”. This Shakespearean classic explores universal themes such as thwarted love, possession, hate, revenge and death. The production involves young actors between the ages of 14 and 19, who address issues that are still relevant through a dramatic rewriting of the text. Director Simona Tortora offers a new interpretation of the tragedy, forcefully expressing the questions and emotions that it brings with it.
Shakespeare Revolution: A Generational Challenge
The festival continues on July 14, again at 21:XNUMX p.m., with the presentation of “Shakespeare Revolution” by the Toy Company, written and directed by Gianni D'Amato.

These young protagonists express their thoughts using the immortal words of the greatest playwright of all time, moving in a timeless context.
