Abstract: Let $Delta$ be a hyperbolic triangle with a fixed area $varphi$. We prove that for all but countably many $varphi$, generic choices of $Delta$ have the property that the group generated by the $pi$--rotations about the midpoints of the sides of the triangle admits no nontrivial relations. By contrast, we show for all $varphiin(0,pi)setminusmathbbQpi$, a dense set of triangles does afford nontrivial relations, which in the generic case map to hyperbolic translations. To establish this fact, we study the deformation space $mathfrak{C}_{h}eta$ of singular hyperbolic metrics on a torus with a single cone point of angle $heta=2(pi-varphi)$, and answer an analogous question for the holonomy map $h{o}_{x}i$ of such a hyperbolic structure $xi$. In an appendix by X.~Gao, concrete examples of $heta$ and $xiinmathfrak{C}_{h}eta$ are given where the image of each $h{o}_{x}i$ is finitely presented, non-free and torsion-free; in fact, those images will be isomorphic to the fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic 3--manifolds.
