Shakespeare by night

Shakespeare by night, show at stations by Emanuele Conte, after the performances at the Villa Duchessa di Galliera Park and in several towns and cities between Liguria and Piedmont, continues its journey also in the summer of 2025 with four new replicas from 29 May to 1 June in the picturesque setting of the Priamar Fortress in Savona.

THE SHOW

Shakespeare by night is a theatrical tribute to Shakespeare and his characters of extraordinary current, a nocturnal, magical and secret path inside the human being, where courage, beauty and love coexist with doubts, ambiguity and violence, in a continuous struggle between lights and shadows.

Between mighty bastions and dark walkways, we shall surprise the witches of Macbeth busy in celebrating their frightening rites, Caliban prey to an euphoric imagined freedom, a Puck, maybe a hundred Pucks to guide us through green areas in the shade of a maritime pine or in the darkness of the tunnels and then sneakily disappear and leave us alone with the night and the stone, on the sea.

NOTES OF DIRECTION

"We will bring back William Shakespeare in the night world from which many of his characters come; we will surprise the immense Falstaff, well supplied with deer horns, waiting for two mysterious ladies, the witches of Macbeth busy to celebrate their frightening rites, a Puck, perhaps two Puck, Maybe a hundred Pucks to guide us in the dark and mischievously disappear to leave us alone with night and forest; transported to another time in the kingdom of elves and fairies of the One Night Dream midsummer. At the end we will return excited to the safe and well-lit areas of the contemporary world leaving behind us the dream world more true than the real one that William Shakespeare created for us".
Emanuele Conte
