Theater and novel.

A primary source of inspiration for prose theater, opera, musicals, and dance thanks to the density of its plots, the complexity of its characters, and the stratification of its languages, the novel in Italy has been used several times by adapters-dramaturgs and directors, giving life to illustrative, celebratory, or, vice versa, innovative shows. Where the difference is made by the authors’ ability to shuffle the cards on the table, adapting the forms of literary tradition to their own personal artistic research.
