ALICE ET CETERA
De Dario Fo et Franca Rame

The American director Stuart Seide, living in France since the 70’s and now at the head of the National Theatre of Lille-Tourcoing and of the Professional Drama School of the Nord-Pas de Calais region (he also is the creator of this school), offers a magnificent gift to his students! Generally doing very long shows like Antoine and Cleopatra or Henry IV, he concocted an assembly of texts written by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, an exhilarating trip through a wild theatricality talking about the vicissitudes of a couple in its 50’s and about the disappointments following some feminist fights. He actually offered his students a nice way to make fun of their parents… Two-side open couple, the first of three texts, is a sort of enormous vaudeville domestic quarrel where marriage and fidelity confronts with free love and adultery: “Well yes!, Antonia answers to her husband. Open couple has its inconvenience. First, in order for it to work out, it has to be opened on only one side, the husband’s side! Because if it’s opened on both sides, it gets very draughty.” The other texts chosen by the director show the hoax that was in reality, for many women, the recovery by men of the sexual liberation coming from 1968, and compose a perfect ideological and political entertainment apt to reanimate the dialogue between generations.
