The play Oedipus at Colonus, presented in Syracuse's ancient theatre, centers on Oedipus as he nears the end of his life, exploring themes of exile and acceptance of the past. Giuseppe Sartori's performance captures a physically frail yet resilient man who gains strength in confronting his impending death. The locals of Colonus react with apprehension to his arrival, indicating his notorious past. Oedipus navigates his painful memories and his complex relationship with his sons while ultimately seeking peace within himself and his choices regarding his demise.
"Giuseppe Sartori strikingly shows us a man who steadily grows stronger not weaker in the face of death, demonstrating resilience amid his approaching end."
"Oedipus makes sense of, or rather comes to terms with, a past that is unspeakable, begging not to retread the horrific revelations about his parents."
