Descrição do livro
What does it cost to create greatness? In this compelling one-person play in two acts, the aging Michelangelo stands before his unfinished Florentine Pietà and reflects upon a lifetime spent pursuing beauty, faith, and perfection. As marble dust settles around him, he recounts his remarkable journey from a determined young apprentice in Florence to the legendary artist whose works would define the Renaissance. Audiences witness his triumphs and disappointments, his clashes with powerful patrons and popes, the creation of David, the monumental labor of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and the unrelenting pursuit of artistic truth that shaped his life. Through moments of humor, frustration, introspection, and spiritual reflection, Michelangelo reveals not only the genius behind the masterpieces but also the man who sacrificed comfort and certainty in service of his calling. Written for a single performer, Michelangelo is ideal for schools, community theaters, museums, churches, historical societies, and actors seeking a rich and challenging dramatic work. More than a biography, it is an intimate portrait of creativity, perseverance, and the enduring belief that every masterpiece is waiting to be revealed from within the stone.
