This dark tale, set in Milan, Palermo and New York, received the Hystrio Prize for Stage Writing in 2015. It was created and directed by Emanuele Aldrovandi, who returns to the Gobetti after L’estinzione della razza umana (The Extinction of the Human Race). This two-person piece focuses on a cruel and amusing game featuring two sisters (Bruna Rossi and Giorgia Senesi). Each, in turn, the one holding the butterfly necklace can force the other to do anything, under the penalty of losing the game, no matter the cost.
