3. In Besnate and Cassano Magnago, Varese, Italy:
Un modo particolarmente interessante per “raccontare” i romanzi in forma teatrale, facendo ampio riscorso a brani letterali delle opere, senza limitarsi tuttavia a una semplice lettura dal vivo, ma anzi, al contrario, elaborando gli scritti dal punto di vista drammaturgico, registico e attorale con anche musica dal vivo.
