Faced with the return of illiteracy that many say afflicts Italy, the Ministry of Culture launches a campaign, entrusted to activists organized in the threatening Cultural Brigades, with the aim of raising the average level of cabaret actors. A comedian chosen at random among the most ignorant will be tortured on stage in the form of an interrogation-lesson on Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. The draw has drawn Dario Vergassola, who has distinguished himself for the bar-level of his aesthetics. Dragged on stage, he is subjected to a public interrogation by Riondino.
