Betrayals

We betray for love, for power, for an ideal.
A compelling journey that weaves together stories, poetry and songs moving through dramatic, comic and lyrical atmospheres: a surprising exploration of betrayal in history, literature and in each of our lives.
Betrayed heroes and skillful traitors span the centuries: their stories reveal the clash between fear and dignity, between loyalty and survival.
The words of Herodotus, Catullus, Boccaccio, Manzoni, Totò, Gandhi, Chekhov, and Karen Blixen are reimagined and interwoven to explore betrayal in love, in war, in friendship — and, above all, within ourselves.
