About
Cavalleria Rusticana is a story of love and betrayal that ends in tragic death. The dramatic plot is supported by powerful music, which amplifies every mood and emotion. In contrast, Pagliacci offers more thematic depth. One of the key themes that became central to the production team is the life of artists and their role in society. At the same time, a crucial element in Pagliacci is the "play within a play" motif. Can we tell what is rehearsed and what arises from improvisation? What is theater and what is reality? What is intentional, and what spins out of control?
