L'umorismo sovversivo di Eva in paradiso: L'altra storia della genesi raccontata da Franca Rame e Dario Fo

Zusammenfassung

Franca Rame and Dario Fo have created numerous plays centered on the woman – in myth, in the past, in the present time – and have reconsidered the traditional women’s models that have been passed down for centuries until today. Eve is a founding model of the role of women in society and she could not be missed in their repertoire. This article focuses on the analysis of two plays with Eve as the protagonist of another version of the world’s creation: Il diario di Eva and Adamo ed Eva and it is particularly concentrated at the time of the nominated rerum. With these two dramaturgical texts,Fo and Rame propose another Genesis and violate the narrative that for centuries has influenced the way we perceive the relationship between the sexes and female identity. This is the creation story told by the creatures, particularly from a female point of view, full of humanity, understanding and a high dose of humor: Eve is the one who makes creation exist through language, the one who has the gift of speech.
