The show is about three of the most Italian autors: Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.
Boccaccio is heartbroken by the idea of being "the third wheel" in that Dante-Petrarch-Boccaccio in which he is imprisoned by time and with whom he will certainly pass to posterity.
Three short texts, three couples, Boccaccio and Fiammetta, Laura and her husband Ugo di Sade, Dante and his wife Gemma Donati. Boccaccio between Dante and Petrarch, Petrarch between Laura and her husband, Beatrice between Dante and his wife.
The three texts are conceived and written by Lunari as three short single acts but the idea of representing them distinct one after the other was not enough for me, I needed a "glue" idea and the input came from a definition of the dialogue by Lunari himself: “elegant intertwining symmetry”. I therefore did not hesitate to intertwine them, intersect them to give life to a theatrical game, so difficult but very funny, in which the two actors continually enter and exit from one couple to another guided by a precise design in which formal elegance of Lunari's texts is not compromised and the play of irony and irreverence is enhanced by a fast and lively rhythm. Dante and Petrarch without any respect are torn to pieces and Boccaccio will finally have his joyful redemption. (Luigi Moretti)
