Their encounter with the merchant Bertoldo sweeps them up in a whirlwind of misunderstandings, promises, and lies: everything revolves around a lottery ticket, a symbol of easy (and deceptive) fortune. Amid laughter and twists and turns, the show invites us to reflect on how fragile dreams of wealth are and how solid human bonds and the truth of feelings are. Spoken and sung parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced. Performances from Tue to Fri are events for school groups. In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office. Sat and Sun performances are open to everyone.
