EL AÑO DE RICARDO

ANGELICA LIDDELL (ES)

The enfant terrible of Spanish theatre, Angelica Liddell, who shocked audiences at the Avignon Festival, comes to Lugano with a feminine and radical version of Richard III, the Shakespearean tyrant. He seduces, bites, manipulates for the pleasure of being abject, aims at power, obtains it all, enjoys it to the point of decadence. He lacerates, tortures with impunity to reach the limits of evil. A master in the art of masking his horrors, he exploits the weaknesses of governments and erects fear as the foundation of security, he uses democracy to trample it underfoot. In one hour, the Madrid actress, a trashy clown, incarnates herself in this bloodthirsty wolf, rummaging through hatred to the point of disgust, unhinging the brain and entrails of the unclean beast, questioning the relationship between the physical body and power. A phenomenal performance that winks at body art.
