  • King Lear, directed by Yiannis Houvardas at the National Theatre

The tragedy of “King Lear”, the “darkest” work of Shakespeare’s dramaturgy, is presented, on the Central Stage of the National Theatre, by director Yiannis Houvardas. The play follows Lear’s journey into darkness, inner desolation and madness, after his decision to retire from active life and divide his realm among his three daughters. The tragedy that will unfold will not leave any of the heroes unscathed. Written in 1608, the darkest work of Shakespeare’s drama deals with the question of power and the decay that comes with its loss and the complexities of family relationships. Assisted by a multi-layered set design that extends into the bowels of the Chiller Building and embraces the art of cinema with extensive use of live video, the director plunges us into the brain of Lear, a man who casually surrendered his primacy, a child who he searches in vain to reunite with the mother, the cruel patriarch – guardian of a rigid code not unlike that of a criminal organization.
