(foto) Teatrul Fără Nume te invită la spectacolul „Furtuna” de William ShakespeareTeatrul Fără Nume te invită la spectacolul „Furtuna” în regia lui Mihai Țărnă, o dramă cu elemente de comedie, despre căderea și ridicarea omului, răscumpărarea sufletelor, dar și pierderea lor veșnică. Furtuna e paradoxul între măreția spiritului uman și cruzimea istoriei. Iertarea… cunoaștem toți cuvântul, însă nu și acțiunea… Iertarea este lucru… Iertarea este o cale… Furtuna e drama iluziilor pierdute, a amarei înțelepciuni și a unei fragile, dar îndărătnice speranțe. În teatrul lui Shakespeare, scena e lumea și lumea e scenă. Insula lui Prospero e însăși scena teatrului, unde miracolul încă mai există… ești invitat pe ea!

Mai multe echipe sunt pe urmele starului argentinian de 33 de ani, dar PSG şi Manchester City par favorite să obţină semnătura acestuia. Campioana Franţei are însă un mare atu: Mauricio Pochettino, noul antrenor al parizienilor, a venit cu o variantă foarte tentantă pentru Messi. Gruparea patronată de David Beckham a atras mai multe staruri pe final de carieră, precum Gonzalo Higuain sau Blaise Matuidi, iar Messi ar fi următoarea lovitură. Starul argentinian a declarat de mai multe ori că MLS este o posibilă destinaţie pentru el şi că visează să joace în SUA pe final de carieră. Iar PSG vrea să profite şi a pus la punct un plan de bătaie, cu o ofertă de nerefuzat pentru Messi.
