THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
This is how Lucca Comics & Games always begins, with the poster presentation, and as it always manages to impress.
There are three LC&G posters this year: one for each stage of approach to the festival, one for each act of Madame Butterfly in homage to Giacomo Puccini, whose death centenary falls this year, and all three dedicated to a great principle of chaos theory to which, for the transmediality typical of the festival, it immediately refers.
Butterfly Effect, Butterfly Effect, a play on words, music, science, assonances, narratives. Everything inside the creative chaos of Lucca Comics & Games.

Small changes that can lead to big revolutions, a theme that resonates perfectly with the innovative and creative spirit of Lucca Comics & Games.
