Alessandro Preziosi directs and stars in a new stage version of King Lear, in which the characters of the Shakespearian masterpiece move within sets entirely composed of works by the great artist from Biella Michelangelo Pistoletto. In this way, the interpretative space becomes a sort of gigantic and evocative mental labyrinth that permits the actor-director to further highlight both the intimate suffering of Lear and one of the tragedy’s most important themes: the father-child relationship.
