The first Slovenian staging of a stage work by the most important living Italian playwright is a mixture of satire and farce, reinforced by Foj's excellent knowledge of various staging practices of European theater. All of his plays are permeated with elements of improvisation, and for performances on stages outside of Italy, he even encourages directors and translators to adapt his works to the setting and time of the performance. Fourteen years ago, he received the Nobel Prize for his work. All for free! All for free! is the cry of outraged women who decide that from this moment on, the influence on the prices of products in the store will no longer be influenced by the market, but by themselves. With a considerable supply of food at the new value, Antonia and Margherita return home. This is where new problems arise. Antonia has to convince her husband - an honest proletarian who even in his spare time avidly reads the programmatic starting points of union projects - that the women's action was correct and fair. Fearing a police house search, Antonia and Margherita place their booty under Margherita's coat. Margherita's husband Luigi is also more than surprised when he returns from work to find his wife suddenly heavily pregnant. The carabinieri brigadier is also quite confused, as he notices that all the women in the district have become pregnant in one day. On stage, let's expect an endless burka, which through constant contemporary themes such as low wages, unreasonably high prices, all kinds of injustice, brings tireless vitalism to the stage and, consequently, the relaxation of the audience. How to achieve this, Dario Fo learned mainly through the long tradition of Italian comedians, including the famous commedia dell'arte. Her constant characters still function in the modern world, even if it is a five-hundred-year time difference.
