The Centre for Study and Documentary Research into European Theatre and Opera presents the latest play from the Gran Teatrino La Fede delle Femmine, included in the series L’après midi d’un Poète,
this year devoted to the Guido Gozzano. Based on a twofold approach, fi lm and drama, Th e Chrysalises’ Friend is an introduction in ten scenes to Gozzano’s world and especially his brief love aff airs.
After exploring the sadomasochistic relationship with the poetess Amalia Guglielminetti, the play focuses on the poet’s entomological passion for butterfl ies and small insects in the Villa Il Meleto, a refuge of rest and quiet during his inexorable, slow fatal illness, and the illusion of salvation on his long Indian journey.

The puppets are moved by Margherita Beato, Margot Galante Garrone, Luisa Garlato and
Paola Pilla to the accompaniment of music by Muzio Clementi, Giuseppe Giordani (Il Giordanello),
Georg Friedrich Handel, György Sándor Ligeti, Jean-Claude Risset, Karlheinz
Stockhausen, Gabriel Pierné and Nicola Vaccaj, and songs by Margot Galante Garrone.
