:About the performance

The most important thing in the performance was the redrafted text. We wanted to show the behavioral motives of characters; why Edmond Glauster do that things or why Lear gets involved in this misery. That’s why we avoid narrating, so that the behaviors and acts divulge the actions. This play is performed only with 15 fiberglass seats. All the actors are present on the stage and no decoration is used in the stage.
