Jernej Lorenci is a director of exceptional sensibility for modernizing classical playwrights, so that in his stage adaptation this 410-year-old drama becomes particularly alive and lively.
The performance is extremely physical, rough and complexly layered, with a number of details... Lonrenzi uses almost cinematic framing on stage, masterly weaving a tapestry of vexed emotions... He managed the nearly impossible: to fuse travesty with tragic moments, represent paradoxical inconsistencies as meaningful, present the antagonist as a hero, and prove the statement that opposites attract to be a lie. In his endeavour, he obviously had a strong backing from the exquisite cast...
