Dario Fo, Whose Plays Won Praise, Scorn and a Nobel, Dies at 90
- MrBra 10y agoDario Fo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdaːrjo ˈfɔ]; 24 March 1926 – 13 October 2016) was an Italian actor–playwright, comedian, singer, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, painter and political campaigner of the Italian left-wing, recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. Grammelot (or gromalot[1]) is a style of language used in satirical theatre, a gibberish with macaronic and onomatopoeic elements, used in association with mime and mimicry. The satirical use of such a format may date back to the 16th century commedia dell'arte; the group of cognate terms appears to belong to the 20th century. While the historical origin of the term is unclear, it has been particularly popularized by the Nobel-winning Italian playwright Dario Fo with his 1969 show Mistero Buffo. https://youtu.be/8A4n9Ez9O8g?t=49s https://youtu.be/8A4n9Ez9O8g?t=49s
