Gli Amori Difficili

Gli Amori Difficili, conceived and directed by Isabella Ragonese with original music performed live by Rodrigo D’Erasmo, adapts for the stage a selection of the short stories Italo Calvino wrote between 1949 and 1967: it captures the youthful spirit of an author who always said he felt more at ease with short stories than with novels. Forty years after the writer’s death, the production offers a precious opportunity to reconnect with his work, through a sharp and ironic examination of the bonds between people, of love, of expectations and of missed opportunities.
