Le favole di Oscar Wilde
with Gabriele La Via
Ancient Theatre, Monday 16th 2021 @ 9.30 pm
Gabriele Lavia (ph Filippo Manzini)
Gabriele Lavia – a great master of the Italian theatre – reads (in Italian) the fables of Oscar Wilde to an audience that has been away from the theaters perhaps too long.
Lavia wisely invites the audience to abandon themselves to fantastic stories which frequently allude to the contradictions of a morality that too often rules our life.
