“What can I say? Everything has been written about the subject: about its popular origins, with synthetic plots and necessary improvisations, about the final appearance of real female actresses and no longer male transvestites, etc... etc.

Personally, I like to think that the simplicity of the scripts, the repetition of roles, the irony of destinies, the pressing rhythm of misunderstandings are, then as now, the representation of common life: a carousel where the actors go around and act in masks, to then present themselves at the end of the show to the judgment of the public.

Isn’t it the same for us?”
