«If I've ever done one good deed in my entire life, I regret it from the bottom of my soul»
(Titus Andronicus: Act Five - Scene One)
Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's first work, is the tragedy of cruel and bloody revenge, it is a slaughter, which will anticipate in the contents the madness of King Lear, the irrationality of a power that destroys, of his historical dramas, the racial conflict in Othello.
Themes that still concern us consumed with obscenity because this is the "obscene modernity" of a tragedy written in 1592 that mirrors our still unresolved contemporaneity on the issues described above, to which I add what strikes me most of this tragedy: the reduction to mere instruments of power, conquest and revenge, one's own children.
Loving and wise father Tito doesn't hesitate to kill his son Muzio and his beloved Lavinia for too much love or for madness? Aaron manipulator of gory facts is a loving father who cuddles his newborn son! Between games and theatrical exercises, we will try to investigate the nature of monstrous actions, performed by normal people, which in themselves contain nothing demonic and monstrous.
Goals:
The workshop aims to introduce beginners to theatrical language, using as a means of preparation the most "nasty" of Shakespearean tragedies that marks the origin of what will be his most refined tragedies such as King Lear, Richard III, Otello...
At the end of the workshop there will be a free stage result, open only to a close audience. What drives me to create a scenic outcome is the idea of experiencing, in a more realistic condition as possible, what has been acquired along the way.
