If the others are for Sartre, for Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, author of the pièce Piccoli crimini conjugal – adapted, interpreted and staged by Michele Placido to Vittorio Emanuele of Messina having as partner Anna Bonaiuto – marriage is “a” criminal association aimed at the destruction of the comrade “, to the point that one of the two can turn into a potential killer. It’s clear that the more you know the other person, the more you can get into his head and identify his worst and / or better sides. What then are those that will allow a couple to live (apparently) quietly, without having to resort to crimes exemplary in the manner of Max Aub. Literature and theater have always had particular attention to the problems of the couple, which then drew on cinema and television.
