Théâtre : Othello

Following *Macbeth*, Philippe NICAUD adapts *Othello* into a superb one-man show

Winner of the Best Actor award at the 2024 Cyranos, following *Macbeth*, Philippe Nicaud adapts *Othello*. Alone on stage, Iago—the liar, Iago the avenger, Iago the extraordinary strategist, Iago with his many faces and personalities—draws the audience into a relentless thriller. As the story unfolds, he sets in motion a Machiavellian plot so intricate that even he becomes lost in it, until he no longer knows whether the whole affair is real or a figment of his imagination. Hitchcock couldn’t have done it better. The music accompanying each scene, like a murmur, throughout William Shakespeare’s masterpiece immerses the audience in a sonic, theatrical, and cinematic tapestry. The text is then carried, proclaimed, sung, performed as slam poetry, and reinvented.
