The world of Othello is brought to life by the Armenian stage
director Suren Shahverdyan, that depicts through his staging how
“envy and jealousy can ruin a man, how sadness can get out of
control when love turns into hate, culminating in a tragic ending.”
The Shakesperian drama brings us Othello, a legend in his own
time, a nobil, brave and victorious man. This hero returns from
battle, only to face his biggest challenge yet: Iago has a
machiavellian plan to ruin Othello's life and feeds his hatred with
contempt and malice. “For me it was important to understand
why people can turn into a Iago, destroying everything around
them. Iago wasn't born this way, but the lie has made him lose his
trust in people”, says the director of the show, that decided to not
divide his heroes in ”good or bad, black or white, each character
being able to inspire compassion.” Deep, intense, heartbreaking,
“Othello” explores mercilessly every part of the human condition,
and Shahverdyan says that “the modern Othello helps us to look
within us, restore our feelings and look into the eyes of our own
shortcomings. We should all think about our sins and try not to die
for love, but live for it. Let us not lose trust in those around us!”
