Three special evenings full of laughter and light-heartedness. Three evenings to celebrate thirty years of career of Ale and Franz with the show Rai Duo (from Monday 4 December on Rai 2). A dive into the gentle comedy of the two friends who grew up with the television sketches of Vianello, Bramieri, Ugo Tognazzi, Valter Chiari and Renato Rascel.
The opportunity is to retrace their history through the most iconic characters, such as Gangster Gin and Fizzthe old men who argue incessantly, the “bench duo” who finds himself commenting on life and Makeup artists who aspire to become stars of the small screen. Hilarious and surreal moments that have marked the pages of Italian comedy. Together with them there will be a band led by Paolo Jannacci and many guest friends who will enter their universe, as Enzo IacchettiMax Tortora, Francis Gabbani, Francesca Chillemi, Checco of “Modà ecc.
«Rai Duo it is the most important project of our career», they comment, «with this show we explain who we are, who we have been and what we will be. Let’s celebrate together with the people who have followed us for thirty years, without which we wouldn’t be here. Doing it in a historical moment like this makes us even more responsible, but at the same time makes these three episodes even more special.”
Ale and Franz moved from theater to TV, from TV to cinema and from cinema to theatre. They never stopped. The secret? «To do this job you have to have things to say otherwise you can’t remain an idiot for thirty years», explains Franz in his own way. «You must have a great passion inside and you can’t help but make people laugh”, adds the traveling companion.
Their irony has never drawn from vulgarity. «We express what we are through gentle comedy», continues Franz, «we never used swear words (some will hear in the off-air of the program ed.) because they are not part of our comedy, because we were trained with “candid” television, that of Valter Chiari and Rachel”. «You can be cynical without being offensive», Ale is convinced.
