• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Director’s note
  The director says about the performance: ” Othello requires a lot of concentration. His story has more to do with an inner conflict, with an issue of insecurity, with someone who is very strong but also very weak. A traditional, tragic, complicated situation. You have a stranger in front of you. […] Othello deals with an issue: What is it like to be a foreigner? A clash that is certainly contemporary but also classic. And such classic conflicts can be found throughout literature, throughout human history. One can say that it is contemporary, but I would rather say that it is full of time. It is not timeless, but full of time. We can go back to the 16th century or the 19th century, or we may be in the 21st, and we will still see the same familiar conflicts.”
