“Women on the Verge” has adapted 4 monologues from “8 monologues for Women” by Dario Fo and Franca Rame written in the 70s – 80s to bring them to present to create a political play. 4 working class women and 4 cabaret dancers defending women’s rights and equality.
“Women on the Verge” is an act of protest. Humour and personal claim are used against injustice. Four women are in stressful situations, four different situations that are just an example of how women around the world are abused in one or another way.
Four dancers from a mean-spirited cabaret are the archetype of the objectification of women. These four dancers sing to announce each of the monologues and tell us the stories of a woman locked up by her husband, a sex worker who has set a building on fire in an act of revenge, the story of a rape and a day in a factory worker’s life who’s on the verge of a crisis. These are the characters incarnated in this play.
The Bridge (Teatro Latino) Theatre Company was created 2 years ago. They seek to promote the Latin theatre and dramaturgy among the Australian public. It is a creative group that aims to develop a simple aesthetic and at the same time entertain the audience.
