La Mandragola di Machiavelli – Commedia del 500

7 July | 18:30 - 19:30
Eventi Villa Taranto - copertine eventi_lettura_purgatorio

A Renaissance comedy brought to life by nine performers, immersed in a whirlwind of sharp irony, deception, desire, and cunning.

In the heart of sixteenth-century Florence, the magical and ambiguous mandrake plant takes root—a remedy and a poison that intertwines the characters’ destinies and reveals their deepest flaws. Amid splendid period costumes and a surprising sense of modernity, the performance invites us to laugh at ourselves while laying bare human fragility.
