About
Una Roberta a Parigi returns for a special edition celebrating the historic twinning between Paris and Rome. Through her journey as an Italian living in France, Roberta explores the cultural quirks, culinary habits, and classic rivalries that define the relationship between the two nations, from the art of living to football disputes. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, this performance features new segments highlighting the shared history and unique bonds connecting these iconic capitals. Expect an authentic, humorous look at the friction between French refinement and Italian Dolce Vita, delivered in French with a distinctive Italian accent.
Roberta tells her story as an Italian woman arriving in Paris without speaking French and immediately finding herself confronted with endless discussions about language, food, and customs.
Italy and France are very close countries, but surprisingly they do not know each other very well. If the French and Italians joined forces, they would be the kings of fashion, cuisine, and the art of living... in short, the kings of the world. But one subject still keeps these neighbors perfectly irreconcilable: football!
Roberta tells you everything about Italian women, aperitifs, flirting, vocabulary... On one side, French refinement and subtleties; on the other, the Dolce Vita and the volcanic temperament of the Transalpines.
An authentic look that is teeming with delicious anecdotes and allows you to learn more about both countries and more... get ready to hear exclusive excerpts about Rome, Paris, and their "relationship"!
