The first direction for Claudio Longhi as director the Piccolo – and an extraordinary success for the 2023/24 season, with a total of 12,541 presences – Ho paura torero returns to the Teatro Grassi, with Lino Guanciale playing the sarcastic and moving Fairy on the Corner. 1986, in a Santiago crushed under the weight of patrols, the Queen of the Corner (a passionate travesti), the student Carlos (a militant from the Manuel Rodríguez patriotic front), General Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte and his faithful partner Lucia, lost in the disjointed chorus of the lazy and feverish city, dance, sinuous or stiff, their fatal and grotesque bolero with fate. 
Claudio Longhi and Lino Guanciale have created a play that walks the line between dream and history, flights of fantasy and violent routine, and that also pays tribute to the ironic and impassioned, scathing and visionary, scandalous and subversive hand of Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015), an icon of queer and pop-camp literature of the Southern hemisphere. An account of the unavoidable parable of desire shot with eros and politics.

The performance on 11 March is surtitled, via Lyri App, in English for foreign audiences, and the performances from 21 to 23 March are surtitled in Italian and English for foreign and hearing-impaired audiences.
