Consider a compact semisimple Lie group \(G\). The space of isomorphic classes of flat \(G\) connections on a punctured surface with fixed conjugacy class of monodromy around each puncture has a natural symplectic structure. The space of geodesic polygons in \(G\) has a natural 2-form. In this paper, the authors give an identity between this symplectic form and this 2-form.
