The story of two sisters whose favorite pastime is a dangerous game: the one who is holding the butterfly hairpin can ask the other one to do anything. “Butterflies” is a tale of personal growth and sisterly love in which self-discovery is not always
accompanied by greater understanding of the other person. In contrast to its crystal-clear, refined theatrical language, the play unfolds with an unpredictable, almost mysterious structure, while its characters' direct and effective dialogue paints a universally touching picture.
The collection, curated by Kairos Italy Theater, features the plays that have won
the annual Mario Fratti Award for Italian playwrights.
