Alessandro Barrico’s literary masterpiece begins with vendetta and ends with retribution. A civil war engulfs three men in its labyrinth, a father, two children and a bloodthirsty Minotaur.

In the years of smoldering peace, a beautiful woman stands before a seller of lottery tickets to take their path between death and reckoning. “Is there an end to revenge, or is it a vicious circle in which we are doomed to spin?” is the great question of the novel. The intensification of hatred between men and nations marks the spirit of the age in which we live. Man is increasingly alone on the “heart of the earth.”

And only love closes the wounds without repeating the pain.

The production is part of the two-year international project “Manifesto” of the Drama Theater – Plovdiv and the National Theater “Yordan Hadzhikonstantinov – Djinot” – Veles, North Macedonia.
