A game of chess. Yesterday. Today
And above all, on this spring afternoon, at this point in the world where the days are getting longer and the warm weather is upon us, we want to say again and again that love is high, higher than we are.

Un progetto di Palinodie compagnia teatrale
Production
Una partita a scacchi, Ieri, oggi è uno spettacolo di teatro site specific che è stato prodotto per la rassegna Culturété - Chateux nuits e riprogrammato dalla rassegna Pasqua ad Arte entrambe a cura della Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta.
Synopsis
Giuseppe Giacosa's famous historical drama returns to the stage with contemporary languages. What strategies can win in a relationship today? How to approach a text that was a great success in the 19th century, taking into account the changes in society and relationships?
The Palinodie theater company chooses the path of mirroring, leading the audience to seek points of contact with the story of the two lovers and at the same time to read this story as a gateway to the present. What arises is a tight dialogue, in strokes of logic and love, to ask whether love is a game, whether we know its rules and also to claim the right, at least in love, to non-competition.
