From Pirandello to Čechov, from Tristano and Isotta and Otello, up to the return of Autonomous Dignity of Prostitution, the theatrical performances not to be missed in Naples in February 2015
The playwright and French poet Jean Genet he said on the theater: “I go to the theater to see myself, on the stage, which one I would not know - or would not dare - to see or imagine myself, and yet what I know I am”.
A phrase that each of us can bring back into our own life. Because when we go to the theater to attend any show, we feel that on that stage, in the costumes of a character, or in the representation of a situation, there is a part of us, perhaps the most hidden, able to reveal itself only through theatrical art.
Also in this month of February 2015, the theaters of Naples present to the Neapolitan spectators a rich offer of theatrical performances, for the genre Prose, Opera and Ballet, which will be able to excite and make you reflect.
