Teatro India continues its series of modern versions of Shakespeare's classics with Hamlet Travestie (3-8 Feb) written by 19th-century English playwright John Poole and performed as a burlesque parody of the Shakespearean tragedy.

In Polvere (10-15 Feb) Saverio La Ruina examines the verbal and pyschological abuse suffered by women at the hands of manipulative, cowardly men, who control and bully their victims with humiliation, insults and threats, slowly enveloping the woman in a dreadful "dust" (polvere) that suffocates her self-worth, destroys her courage, crushes her ability to smile.

In Italian.
