Born in 1982, and the co-founder in 2005, in Uruguay, of the company Complot – with which he has created around thirty shows, collaborating with, among others, Sergio Blanco – Gabriel Calderón comes to the Piccolo for the first time to direct a production in Italian of one of his successes, Història d’un senglar (o alguna cosa de Ricard), protagonist Francesco Montanari.
Inspired by the masterpiece by Shakespeare, the text tells the story of a theatrical actor who has never had the chance to play a lead role. Now that his moment has finally come, he wants to make the most of the opportunity. A disturbing affinity slowly begins to emerge between his life and that of the character; ambition, repressed anger, a desire for revenge, opportunism... In performing the famous monologue, he finds the darker aspects of the King of York within himself. 
Active on stages the world over for the last twenty years, Calderón speaks of the perils of the stage, the theatre of violent passions that are not always merely simulated and entrusts Francesco Montanari with the lead role.
