Othello is a tragedy by William Shakespeare about love, jealousy, and betrayal. Othello, a Moorish general in Venice, marries Desdemona, but Iago, his envious ensign, manipulates him into believing she has been unfaithful. Consumed by jealousy, Othello’s trust unravels, leading to tragic consequences for himself and those around him. The play explores the destructive power of lies, prejudice, and insecurity.
This production of Othello explores the fear of otherness — the terror of being different, excluded, or unseen. It shows how society feeds on insecurity, shaping and breaking those it refuses to accept.
Othello’s rise and fall reveal a world that provokes and condemns. Between the order of Venice and the isolation of Cyprus, we witness a man unravel under prejudice and manipulation.
The tragedy is a mirror of our time: how fear becomes hatred, and how easily the mind collapses when love and faith are eroded. Beneath the polished surface of modern life, the same old fear endures — the fear of the Other.
