Coppia Aperta, quasi spalancata

The Open Couple, Almost Wide Open, a famous comedy by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, returns to the theater with Chiara Francini, the protagonist of an ironic and timely show about couple dynamics. The story tells the tragicomic life of a couple grappling with the concept of “open couple”, born in the wake of the social and cultural changes of the 1970s. Amid contradictions, jealousies, and attempts at modernity, the fragilities of bourgeois marriage and the difficulties of adapting to new relational models emerge.

With a brilliant and provocative style, the text stages male psychology and its intolerance of monogamy, progressively reversing roles and offering an ironic yet lucid look at romantic relationships. Open Couple Almost Wide Open is a comedy that continues to speak in the present tense, amidst laughter and reflection, placing the changes in society and the dynamics of life as a couple at the center.
