Petronio / Peça livremente extrahida do romance Quo Vadis de Henryk Sienkiewicz

In imperial Rome a satirical stage adaptation follows a sophisticated courtier who orchestrates wit and luxury while advising friends and confronting rivalries; a young consul confesses passionate love for a virtuous foreign woman raised in a pious household, prompting schemes and moral reflection. Scenes contrast decadent banquets, private grooming, and public ritual with the presence of early Christian believers and philosophers, producing tensions between hedonism and conscience. The drama unfolds through dialogue among poets, soldiers, nobles, slaves, and religious figures, alternating intimate domestic moments and larger spectacles that probe desire, honor, and faith.
