In this reinterpretation, Latella goes beyond the image of Riccardo as a “monster,” deformed in body and therefore in heart. Evil, today, can no longer hide behind a hunchback or a lame man; it resides in beauty, not in disharmony: it is life, it is nature, it is seduction. It is the word that reveals its power, that enchants and corrupts, like the serpent in Eden. And the Garden of Eden, in this production, is a symbol of absolute and deceptive beauty, made up of dangerous relationships: a place to be defended, but also one from which one has already been expelled. 
Federico Bellini’s translation creates a rhythmic score that plays with registers, at times verging on the tones of a Wildean comedy. Alongside the original structure, a new character takes shape: the Keeper—enigmatic and dual-natured, seemingly a servant of evil but in reality in the service of the garden’s beauty, willing to do anything to ensure the survival of the Garden of Eden. 
Thanks to a stellar cast—capable of imbuing each character with a strong artistic presence and guided by the centrality of the spoken word—*Richard III* is transformed into a ritual of seduction and ruin, a power game that undermines certainties and plunges into the ambiguous beauty of evil.
