ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Premiere: 30. 1. 2027

Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and the young novice Adso investigate a series of mysterious murders in a medieval abbey. The clues lead them to a closely guarded library.

They arrive at the northern Italian monastery for talks between representatives of the Emperor and the Pope. At the abbot’s request, they take up an investigation whose answers lie within the library’s labyrinth. This stage adaptation of Umberto Eco’s novel asks what price we are prepared to pay for knowledge.
