From Shakespeare to Beckett, from Sophocles to Eduardo De Filippo. The program for the 2023-2024 season of "La grande Prosa e Danza" winks at the classics but also at the great contemporaries. A stimulating journey for mind and heart among the great masterpieces of the history of theatre, reinterpreted in a modern key, and creations by important choreographers.
At the Teatro Massimo there will be 10 titles on stage between November and April. Organized by CeDAC with the patronage and support of the Ministry of Culture, the Sardinia Region, the Municipality of Cagliari and with the contribution of the Sardinia Foundation, this new season will start with two unscheduled events. This weekend the French company Bellazar, for the first time in Italy, with its transversal artistic languages will bring "Eclipse" to the stage; on 25 and 26 November, however, Carola Puddu will be on stage, playing the black swan in a reinterpretation of "Swan Lake". Also out of subscription is the first show on Saturday 11 November with "The Invisible Husband", written and directed by Edoardo Erba and starring Maria Amelia Monti and Marina Massironi. The curtain officially opens on “Maria Stuarda” - from Wednesday 29 November to Sunday 3 December - in the mise en scène signed by Davide Livermore with two ladies of the stage, Laura Marinoni and Elisabetta Pozzi, who alternate in the roles of the two queens (in elegant and evocative costumes by Dolce & Gabbana).
We continue with an intriguing game of theater within the theater with “Uomo e Galantuomo” by Eduardo De Filippo – from 13 to 17 December – with Geppy Gleijeses and Lorenzo Gleijeses. Journey between the lines with “The race behind the wind / Dino Buzzati or the enchantment of the world” – on the bill from 17 to 21 January – with dramaturgy and direction by Gioele Dix, protagonist together with Valentina Cardinali. We continue with a twentieth century classic: “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett – from 31 January to 4 February – in the fascinating version by Theodoros Terzopoulos, with Paolo Musio, Stefano Randisi and Enzo Vetrano alongside Giulio Germano Cervi and Rocco Ancarola.
