Thus the repetition; her role is other than to simply confirm Fate\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n<p>There are four acts, each one \u201cdivided\u201d in two: the square and the circle. We start with the square and finish in the circle.<\/p>\n<p>Published and premiered in French, in 2010 \u2013 Odeon theatre, directed by Giorgio Barberio Corsetti.
