CONVERSAZIONE SU TIRESIA / CONVERSATION ABOUT TIRESIAS

The story of the famous soothsayer, a myth declined over the centuries by writers, poets, philosophers, playwrights. With the strength of his storytelling, Camilleri gives us a unique and valuable work.
«Call me Tiresias. In the manner of the writer Melville, the one from Moby Dick. […] Ever since Zeus, or whoever, decided to take away my sight again, this time at the age of ninety, I have felt the urgency to be able to understand what eternity is, and only by coming here I can sense it. Only on these eternal stones».
Conversation about Tiresias written and performed by Andrea Camilleri was staged for the first time at the Greek Theater in Syracuse on June 11, 2018 as part of the classical plays produced by the National Institute of Ancient Drama.
