Programme notes:

Born in Todi in 1947, Patrizia Cavalli is an Italian poet who published her first collection of poems in 1974. She has won several literature prices and awards and is also a translator of Shakespeare works. She currently lives and writes in Rome. Her writing is based on classical stylistic norms which blend with a truly contemporary language. Sabrina Zuber gave this poem to Robert Casteels.

If now, you were at my door
And you would take off your spectacles
And I would take off mine, which are similar
And then, you would enter in my mouth
And without fearing uneven kisses
Tell me “Amore mio, what happened”,

It would be a magnificent piece of theatre.
