Main Ideas

  • Exploration of the mysterious life and death of Christopher Marlowe, a remarkable playwright and poet of the Renaissance, whose fate is enveloped in secrets and intrigue.
  • Immersion in the atmosphere of 16th-century England, where political intrigues, religious conflicts, and espionage intertwine in a complex pattern of human destinies.
  • The theme of the duality of human nature, where genius and vice, faith and skepticism, love and betrayal coexist within one person.
  • Reflections on the nature of art and its impact on society, where words become weapons and the theater a stage for expressing the boldest ideas.
  • The search for truth in a world full of lies and deceit, where every step can be the last, and trust is a luxury not everyone can afford.
