Il giuoco delle parti (Il Teatro Di Pirandello, #15)
by Professor Luigi Pirandello
Respect women, respect girls. Respect yourselves.

For Layla, every day is a battleground. The pay gap, the thigh gap, over-sexed pop and selfies that are photoshopped – they’re just part of the world she lives in.

L'ecriture de Michele Fabien (1945-1999) s'enracine dans la dynamique intellectuelle et culturelle des annees 1960/70, tout en se plongeant dans les enjeux et questionnements de la belgitude et du Nouveau Theatre. Son itineraire passe de la recherche litteraire et de la dramaturgie a l'adaptation theatrale comme reecriture puis a l'ecriture personnelle, voire a la mise en scene, dans le cadre du role majeur qu'elle joue de plus en plus aux cotes de Marc Liebens dans l'histoire de l'Ensemble Thea...
