Offene Zweierbeziehung / Eine Mutter / Die Vergewaltigung

In her three most personal pieces, Franca Rame, together with Dario Fo, strongly advocates for the role of women: she takes aim at Italian machismo, the chauvinistic society, and the resulting politics. The amusing chaos of an open relationship, where only the man is allowed to enjoy its freedoms, serves as a humorous introduction. In contrast, her monologues are more serious: "A Mother" desperately tries to understand whether her upbringing or politics has turned her son into a terrorist. "The Rape" of a woman is described by Rame in a chilling and unflinching manner, taking a stand against the trivialization of sexual violence in Italian society.
