Franca Rame: persona e personaggio tra vita, scena e testimonianza

Franca Rame is a well-known actress (and author), but studies have rarely highlighted the slippage between person and character in a contamination between public and private assumed as a stage technique and, even before, a consequence of her vocation for social and political commitment. Her biographical story (as well as her autobiographical reconstruction, published under the significant title Una vita all'improvvisa - A Life Suddenly) also showa how a piece of writing so painfully autobiographical that it cannot go on stage without the actor's mask can become a therapy, at first personal and then collective and social, a testimony that becomes a denunciation and then a model for battles such as today's #MeToo.
