Tony Award–winning director Ivo van Hove’s much-lauded adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s bleak 1969 drama has its North American premiere at the Wade Thompson Drill Hall. Recounting the ideological unraveling of the wealthy von Essenbeck family against a backdrop of Nazi Germany, the production echoes the original screenplay’s motifs of ambition, corruption, and brutality amid a stark, minimalist scenography.
