King Lear is a tragedy long recognized as a perfect representation of the human condition. In it, we witness the disintegration of two value systems: the medieval and the Renaissance. The king embodies the patriarch, the monarch, and the glory of the European era. His death reveals the fragility of these power systems, whose ruins our characters now inhabit, as though sunk into a void. When everything is lost in this unstable world, nothing remains. It is precisely this “nothingness” that Edgar, who will ascend the throne after Lear, must confront first of all. It is as if the protagonist foresees the inevitable void awaiting us as the result of a decaying permanent order.
The performance focuses on the key moment of the entire tragedy: the storm that strikes the king as he wanders through the desolate heath to escape the disaster caused by his beloved daughters. Accompanied by the Earl of Kent and the faithful Fool, Lear helplessly witnesses the upheaval of the natural order. Lear loves only himself, and this lack of love drives him to madness. However, during the storm, he undergoes a transformation; in the face of nature’s fury, he becomes humble, no longer seeking shelter, realizing that his true pain lies deeper. The storm is the culmination of chaos, to which he must eventually surrender, becoming a man among men—weak, bitter, weary, yet finally stripped of the crown that led to his destruction. The children will pay the price for their parents’ blindness.
