Open couple, almost wide open

Open Couple, Almost Wide Open
by Franca Rame and Dario Fo
adapted by Virginia Risso and Mirco Tosches
directed by Virginia Risso
with Virginia Risso and Matteo Bianco

An irresistible, cutting, and surprisingly timely show that transforms a relationship crisis into an explosion of intelligent comedy.

Antonia is a betrayed, tired, and hurt wife. Michele is a charming, progressive intellectual, a master of rhetoric and a champion of inconsistency, who proposes an open relationship to his wife as a solution to their marital problems.
After an initial refusal, Antonia accepts the challenge. But what happens when freedom is for both? When does the wife stop feeling sorry for herself and rediscover herself?

Through lightning-fast quips, tense dialogue, and situations as grotesque as they are terrifyingly recognizable, the show lays bare the contradictions of contemporary love, the lack of communication, the need for possession disguised as ideology. It's an emotional duel where victims and executioners trade places in a vortex of resentment, desire, and revenge.
