Король Лір
The play "King Lear" at the Left Bank Theater is a radical and frank reading of Shakespeare's tragedy, shattering the sweet illusions of power and family ties. The story begins as an absurd competition of flattery, where the father divides the kingdom according to the number of exquisite words of love, and turns into a bloody catastrophe for the entire country. This is a harsh and relevant story about how selfishness and blindness become the point of no return, leading to madness and discord.
