Docu-fiction about the theatre workshop organised in the Roman prison of Rebibbbia by film director Fabio Cavalli, who rehearses works of Shakespeare with the prisoners. The rehearsals and the final performance of Julius Cesar alternate with the inmates’ daily routines.
The objective of this first festival, co-organised by the Malaga City and Provincial Councils, aims to disseminate pre-20th century theatrical heritage, with a special focus on Spain’s Golden Age, in the city and the province of Malaga. By combining theatrical performances with film screenings and training, the festival also seeks to foster encounters with professionals of the sector and to enhance the value and comprehension of classical theater. Each show is geared at a specific audience, including all audiences, young people and adults.
