Description

In this lyrical tragedy the narrator wanders through the crumbling ruins of Diocletian’s baths, where the silence of marble statues contrasts with the restless memory of a people once built on suffering and faith. The prose is drenched in classical allusions, and the atmosphere feels both ancient and unsettlingly modern, as the narrator grapples with a personal anxiety that seems tied to the very stones around him.

At the heart of the first act stands Ulisside, a figure caught between a generous brother’s parting and the looming weight of a fatal song. He steps to an open window, lifts his eyes to a spring sky over Rome, and his quiet words unleash a sudden, overwhelming ripple of laughter that shakes the theater. The interplay of love, duty, and a haunting sense of destiny unfolds in richly layered language, inviting listeners to taste the bitter‑sweet flavor of a modern tragedy rooted in timeless myth.
