The Rape of Lucrece is one of the great narrative poems by William Shakespeare, written in 1594. The poem reinterprets a foundational episode in the history of Rome: the rape of Lucrece by Sextus Tarquinius and her subsequent suicide, which triggers the fall of the monarchy and the birth of the Republic. Shakespeare transforms this classic legend into a profound and striking meditation on power, desire, and violence. Translated by Miquel Desclot and performed by Emma Vilarasau, the poem is presented with the musical accompaniment of Lluís Claret. Jordi Bosch assumes the direction of this suggestive proposal presented at the Teatre Principal. Artistic details: Jordi Bosch, direction Emma Vilarasau, performance Lluís Claret, cello Miquel Desclot, translation
