Abstract

Arts & Humanities Arts & Humanities - Other Topics Humanities, Multidisciplinary
Theatre provides Dario Fo with a unique vantage point through which he vents out his thoughts on issues of class, justice, equality and lays bare in his performances that are comic, derisive, and outspoken people's discomfort with the prevailing order. They are an indictment of the establishment's perceived apathy and neglect of the oppressed groups. He does not let the zany spirit of his performances to overshadow his art but redirects it in a constructive and meaningful way.
