MASKEROPOLIS

What if we all lived inside a great performance?

In Maskeropolis, the mask is no longer a fabrication: it has become a system. Every gesture has a role, every word a part to interpret, every identity a construction to defend. In this city suspended between reality and representation arrives Gregorio Damian, a young philosophy student determined to understand what lies behind the great theater of appearances.

His journey thus becomes a confrontation with the seductive power of the image, with hypocrisy, and with the increasingly urgent need to be authentic. Around him, characters that seem to have come out of a contemporary comedy: aristocrats without nobility, ambiguous rebels, professionals of deceit, and figures impossible to categorize.

Maskeropolis, a work by Lorenzo Sassoli, is a clear and corrosive parable about our time: a reflection on identity, on the manipulation of narrative, and on the ever-thinning line between who we are and what we choose to show.

To tell it, together with the author, will be Madelyn Renée, an internationally renowned soprano, a star on the stages of the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Vienna Staatsoper, and the Opéra de Paris, as well as a performer alongside Luciano Pavarotti.

A meeting between literature, music, and thought, to look at ourselves in the mirror and ask: what mask do we wear every day? And what would happen if we finally decided to take it off?
