Katabasis
Teatro della Nike, Parco Archeologico di Naxos
At dawn, in the silence of the Teatro della Nike, Alessio Boni gives voice and body to Aeneas in Book VI of the Aeneid: the descent into the underworld, the katabasis that gives the performance its title. Dramaturgy and staging are by Boni himself, who embodies the tension of the otherworldly journey accompanied by the live cello of Franca Bongiovanni. The event is part of the "Comunicare l'Antico 2026" series and takes advantage of the dawn atmosphere and the archaeological site to convey the full power of Virgil's text.
Time: 06:00 - 23:59 Date: September 12, 2026 Time: 6:00 (dawn), box office opens at 5:30 Location: Teatro della Nike, Parco Archeologico di Naxos, Giardini Naxos Single admission: € 15.00 Advance sales: www.liveticket.it/latitudinirete Info: www.facebook.com/latitudini, www.facebook.com/Naxoslegge
