Reflections, puns, misunderstandings, quarrels and of course laughter – The two artists: “Ours is a marriage in all respects, which only lacks the physical side, which will never exist” Reflections, puns, misunderstandings, quarrels and obviously laughter: it is the ‘Recital’ by Ale & Franz that reopens the curtain for the new season of the Parioli theater in Rome, written in ‘eight hands’ – another inevitable pun – by the two actors, Alessandro Besentini and Francesco Villa , together with director Alberto Ferrari and Antonio De Santis, on stage until 6 November. “It is a show to be experienced and laughed at together, between past, present and future – underline the director’s notes – A comical, funny show that highlights our qualities but above all our defects and contradictions. How to look in the mirror. and ask ‘but who is that?’ … “. In celebrating their 28 years of artistic career, partly retraced in the recital, Ale & Franz – who at Parioli last season had proposed their ‘Comincium’ – confess: “We return to Rome after last year’s success, because there is was requested in a loud voice. This show wants to be a special event for us and for the public, in which we will have fun with the ‘best of’ to relive our career and our workhorses “. In the whirl of situations proposed, the meeting after some time with an ex who in the meantime has become ‘an’ ex; the recriminations of a bank customer with a banker casually sitting next to him on the bench; the confessions between two unlikely members of a gangster clan. “Ours is a marriage in all respects, lacking only the physical side, which will never exist – the two artists say jokingly – A work that goes hand in hand with age: certain things can no longer be done , others yes, but the beauty of this job is that it fits in a certain sense with life “, observe Ale & Franz.
