Mozart's opera Così fan tutte is widely regarded as the quintessence of classical opera buffa. By unraveling the fickleness and yet the profound universalityof human love and emotion through wit and music, the work has resonated deeply with audiences from the 18th century to the present day.
This production aims to reinterpret classical aesthetics into a psychological and visual narrative by constructing an "inner theater reflecting human doubt" within the historical backdrop of 18th-century Naples. The stage dismantles the boundaries between solid reality and trembling illusion. Through transparent visual metaphors, it manifests the fragile sincerity and instinctive psychological states hidden beneath the veneer of social conventions that the characters have long upheld.
"Are the emotions masked under the guise of certainty merely floating illusions that lose their shape at the slightest ray of doubt?" Navigating the transparent maze of doubt and human frailty concealed beneath the blazing sun of Naples, the audience will face the shimmering essence of our own inner selves upon the flowing stage of Così fan tutte.
