Última o, mejor, penúltima muestra —siempre será la penúltima porque habrá muchas en el futuro— del gran talento teatral de la corporación Fo-Rame. Aquí es tratado con talante lúdico y didáctico, y con un superobjetivo liberador de nuestras represiones y tópicos: el tema del sexo humano. Esta obra está triunfando en muchos escenarios del mundo.

About the author
Franca Rame
114 books19 followersFranca Rame (18 July 1929 – 29 May 2013) was an Italian theatre actress, playwright and political activist. She was married to Nobel laureate playwright Dario Fo and is the mother of writer Jacopo Fo. Fo dedicated his Nobel Prize to her.
Franca Rame was born in Parabiago, Lombardy, in 1929, into a family with a long theatre tradition. She made her theatrical debut in 1951. Shortly thereafter, she met Dario Fo, whom she married in 1954. Their son, Jacopo was born on 31 March 1955. In 1958, she co-founded the Dario Fo–Franca Rame Theatre Company in Milan, with Fo as the director and writer, and Rame the leading actress and administrator.
Rame continued working with Fo through many plays and several theatre companies, popular success and government censorship. She was active in Soccorso Rosso (Red Aid), writing letters and providing books for prisoners and assisting their families and lawyers. In the 1970s, Rame began writing plays (often stage monologues) of her own, such as Grasso è bello! and Tutta casa, letto e chiesa, which displayed a markedly feminist bent.
In March 1973, fascists who were reportedly commissioned by high-ranking officials in Milan's Carabinieri (Italian federal police) abducted Rame, held her at gunpoint and dumped her in a van. They raped her, beat her, burnt her with cigarettes, slashed her with razor blades and left her in a park. She returned to the stage after two months with new anti-fascist monologues.
Rame became a member of the PCI in 1967.She was a member of the Italian Senate representing the centre-left anti-political corruption Italy of Values (IDV – Italia dei Valori) party, abandoned in 2008 due to political choices of the government supported by the IDV party. From 2010 she was, also with her husband, an independent member of the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC – Partito della Rifondazione Comunista).
She died in 2013 at the age of 83.

Me gustaría mencionar que este libro es un monólogo escrito por Dario Fo y Franca Rame, su mujer, quien veo que no aparece en el apartado de autores. Creo que es importante este dato, ya que además de que es una mujer la que habla, todo el texto trata de las dificultas de las mujeres en la sociedad y en la vida cotidiana, siempre con humor y con sarcasmo.
Es una lectura rápida y amena que recomiendo leer ya que da que pensar y hace en el fondo reflexionar sobre la situación de la mujer antaño y ahora.

Un monologo sobre el sexo, y todas las etapas que este atraviesa en nuestra vida.
Desconocía cual era su contenido, ni el fondo real que querían expresar. No es un simple monologo, es un llamado de atención a la sociedad y su manera tan peculiar de reprimir y satanizar un acto natural del ser humano.
Entre risas y experiencias Dario Fo y su esposa Franca Ramè nos muestran la importancia del saber!

El título prometía y creo que me hubiera reído bastante viéndola interpretada, pero la lectura en sí no tiene demasiado.

Una charla divertida y amena que te ayuda a quitarle hierro al asunto sexual en una sociedad que abusa de él creyendo que lo sabe todo acerca del mismo.
