«Misteri Buffo» is the play by Dario Fo, published by Edicions Bromera in paperback (152 pages, in Catalan).
Central work by Dario Fo in his search for the roots of popular theater: it freely reinterprets medieval sacred texts in pieces presented by a juggler. Dario Fo exposes the contradictions of ecclesiastical power, interweaves the Middle Ages with the present and launches a political attack through parodies of biblical passages and historical events.
It belongs to the Bromera Teatre collection, number 20, and includes translation, introduction and didactic proposals by Josep Ballester.
For readers interested in popular theater and political satire, as well as in the work of Dario Fo, Nobel Prize in Literature.
Dario Luigi Angelo Fo was an Italian playwright, actor, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, political campaigner for the Italian left wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte.
