Enrico IV by Luigi Pirandello
QR code
"Enrico IV" by Luigi Pirandello is a drama written in 1921. After a costumed pageant accident, a nobleman believes himself to be the historical Emperor Henry IV. Twelve years later he recovers but chooses to continue the charade, unable to face a painful reality. When visitors arrive twenty years after the incident with a plan to cure him, a confrontation forces him to choose between truth and madness. The play explores the
boundaries between sanity and insanity, performance and authenticity, examining whether embracing illusion might be more honest than accepting society's false realities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
