This ‘coming of age’ story from earlier times forms the basis of this super romantic and poetic performance. A story full of intrigue at the intersection of Bridgerton and Poor Things. A sensual story carried by opera music and the beauty of Italy.
Amore di Amore is based on the book ‘Een schitterend gebrek’ (A Splendid Lack) by the Dutch author Arthur Japin. For this book, Japin de Libris Literatuur was allowed to receive a prize. Dozens of translations and a recent film version crowned his success.
