At Bagni Misteriosi “The man who darkened the sun” with the voice of Alessio Boni

Saturday 9 October at the Mysterious Baths the spettacolo The man who darkened the sun will be staged. The magnetic voice of Alessio Boni leads us to the discovery of the powerful, comic and tragic story of the greatest French actor and author of the seventeenth century: the son of a Parisian upholsterer, born with the name of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, but who became immortal with his stage name, Molière.

The plot

His life is an incredible sum of adventures and above all daring misadventures, sensational fiascos and even more sensational successes that have allowed him to arrive, with his art stage and his courageous and constant denunciation, to obscure the fame and immortality of Louis XIV the Sun King, one of the most famous sovereigns in all of history

A theatrical tale for voice and music, a double narrative intertwined to tell the life, misadventures and death of Molière together with his demons and his theater: all in one breath. Like an amazing long and tragicomic story of love, ardor and passion.
