"This story is the record of a struggle between two temperaments, two consciences and almost two epochs. It ended, as was inevitable, in disruption. Of the two human beings here described, one was born to fly backward, the other could not help being carried forward. The affection of these two persons was assailed by forces in comparison with which the changes that health or fortune or place introduce are as nothing.

Dario Fo porta in teatro la più celebre maschera della commedia dell'Arte ispirandosi alle presentazioni fatte in Francia quattro secoli fa dal comico italiano Tristano Martinelli davanti al Re e alla Regina. Un personaggio ben diverso dalla versione ufficializzata da Molière e Goldoni, più popolare e vicino semmai ai fabliaux dell'alto Medioevo e a Rabelais. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1985.

In the spirit of VH1’s Behind the Music comes this revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making, breaking, remaking, pirating, filming and legal wrangling of the ‘60s cult phenomenon Candy. An erotic satire vaguely inspired by Voltaire’s Candide and penned under the name Maxwell Kenton (the nom de plume of its ex-pat coauthors, Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg), Candy was first published in 1958 by the notorious French publisher Maurice Giordias. The book was immediately banned, then reissued under the title Lollipop, banned again, then reissued again, sanitized in England and eventually shipped stateside, where thanks to Putnam and a slew of publishing pirates, it leapt to bestsellerdom and was eventually crowned "the world’s most talked about book." Southern’s own son, Nile, has recounted the novel’s bumpy and adventurous journey in a magnificent epistolary style, reprinting the correspondence between Candy’s authors, its publisher and its increasingly complicated web of involved parties. The compilation perfectly captures the "growing misunderstandings, temper tantrums, paranoid fixations, jealousies, dreams and utter despair that each of these men went through as they tried to regain control over their book lost in a miasma of cloudy copyright." (Miasma is an apt term: by the second half of the book the legal fog is so thick that it’s nearly impossible to keep track of who’s suing whom.)

Four clergymen seek to make sense of their mission while being torn in all directions by the Church of England. After a critically-lauded debut in 1990 at London’s National Theatre, Racing Demon went on to earn universal acclaim. More than 20 years later, David Hare’s bold and moving revelations on gay ordination and the doctrine of the priesthood ring more resoundingly than ever.

The terror of the coming of the Martians is all but a distant memory, a bad dream that has faded with time. All George Wells wants is a quiet suburban life – but at breakfast one morning his newspaper reports the shocking discovery of a Martian cylinder, found intact and unopened, and carefully transported to London. Could it be from the first alien invasion and after nearly ten years, are Martians still alive inside?

Tre esilaranti monologhi scritti e interpretati da Dario Fo ispirandosi ai fabliaux francesi del XI-XII secolo: giullarate scurrili che, per indurre il pubblico all’ilarità più sfrenata, ricorrevano a situazioni grottesche o scabrose. Il tutto è impreziosito dalla mimica insuperabile di Fo e dall’uso del suo colorato ed espressivo dialetto padano. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1982. Le registrazioni dalle quali è stato estratto l’audio sono del 1991 e del 2002.

En el año 1974, la artista serbia Marina Abramovic colocó alrededor de su cuerpo setenta y dos objetos divididos en dos categorías: objetos de placer y objetos de dolor. Luego invitó al público a que los usase sobre sucuerpo, transformándose, de esta manera, en otro objeto más. El fin era observar el comportamiento humano ante la indefensión. Cuentan que Abramovic estuvo a punto de perder la vida. Al fin y al cabo, lo fácil siempre fue hacer daño. Al fin y al cabo, lo difícil siempre es amar.
