Abstract

“I to the world am like a drop of water

That in the ocean seeks another drop,

Who, falling there to find his fellow forth,

Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself.”

 

The Comedy of Errors draws us into a labyrinth of the unknown, into a whirlwind of confused situations bordering on a dreamscape. If it weren’t woven through with the exceptional humor of Shakespeare’s language, this story would resemble more a schizophrenic nightmare—lost identities, doubled characters, role reversals, separated families, partner swaps... In a world populated by "liars and charlatans", two twin brothers who have never met are constantly missing each other, wandering through a "sea of people" that keeps overwhelming them. The closer they get, the further apart they seem, as each slowly but surely begins to transform—taking on the other’s role, stepping into a new, seemingly foreign identity that, deep down, is uncannily familiar.

What happens to a person who has lost their roots, their essence?
How can we restore our lost inner harmony?
How can we make sense of the chaos?
And can we truly be ourselves without fully knowing who we are?
