Spiritualized, profound, and weighed down by the years of exile, the poet Ovidius Publius Naso enters the stage after the audience has understood, from the unfolding of the initial video projection, that the man Ovid has died.
On stage, the actor embodies Ovid’s soul, separated from his body—his body remains suspended in a kind of marine limbo, gently moving with the waves at the shore. The poet does not realize he has died; he continues to struggle, to hope, to fall back into despair. Only toward the end, when he turns and looks at the projection, does he see his body in the water.
The revelation that he has been separated from his mortal body, carried by the waves and already integrated into the shore and the sea, reveals to him his spirit on the path to freeing itself from earthly suffering.
The recital is a re-experiencing, from a spiritual and emotional perspective, of his life as an exile in Tomis and a reliving of his entire existence—from childhood to the present—as a lofty spirit and a great poet.
