Its a moving homage to Gianni Rodari, who along all his life put all his imagination at the service of the infancy. The Dragonfly has borrowed in this way its wings to this old ally of the dreams in order that his mischievous literary characters take body and life through the fantasy of the puppetry.

The topic of the play gathers through the irony and the gallows humor an ancient dispute that is associated among the cats and the mice, creating thus an allegory of social life. In "Un Pobre Pelagato Mal Llamado Fortunato" (A poor man misnamed Fortunato), is challenged the cult to the success, one of the big contemporary myths The life alienated of the world of the businesses is carried for the scenic story to the absurdity's limits..

ARGUMENT:
The fortune's quest as eater passion, conducts the main character to a dead-end street, where it is subdued to the public shame, as a victim of his own ambition. Those elements are narrated, of course, with the color's lucidity, the sonorous enchantment and the puppeteer's versatile magic that the joy of the spectator provokes to become childish the soul.
