‘Souls in Limbo, Beyond Borders’ is the title and the invisible thread that runs through the entire season, weaving an underground plot that unites works and ballets, eras and styles, tradition and vision. It is the plot of characters suspended on the brink of something: an impossible love, a fatal choice, an inner transformation. This is a season of blurred boundaries, of those territories where dream and reality intertwine, where art becomes life and fiction becomes revelation. A season where the main characters live permanently suspended on a threshold between desire and duty, the self and the other, light and shadow. The protagonists face not certainties but shadows, mists, mirrors that sometimes reflect clearly, sometimes distort reality. Not safe havens, but fertile anxieties. The theatrical scene thus becomes a mirror of the human condition: fragile, changeable, deeply true.

All the staff and artists of the Teatro Massimo Foundation will be involved in the operas, ballets and concerts: the Orchestra, Chorus, Ballet, Youth Chorus as well as the Set Design Workshops.

The Season includes titles taken from the great repertoire, new productions, visionary reinterpretations, international co-productions and an artistic and symbolic journey that explores the thresholds of existence: between light and shadow, reality and imagination, destiny and desire.
