Tragùdia

The song of Oedipus

Premiere: Teatro Arena del Sole, Bologna, 17/10/2024

About this event

The visionary and multi-award-winning director Alessandro Serra confronts the Oedipus myth and Grecanic, the ancient language that has survived in a remote corner of what was once Magna Graecia, to recover the collective value of ritual and ancient tragedy. Although setting the myth in a city in decay, Sophocles guides the spectator towards an inner light that will manifest itself in Colonus, in the sacred wood where Oedipus will be literally absorbed by the gods.
