520 $a This dissertation focuses on the dramatic texts of Dario Fo from the early fifties to the present. It singles out recurring verbal and situational strategies present throughout his works aimed both at provoking laughter and conveying the playwright's political analysis.
520 $a The first chapter examines Fo's period of apprenticeship in several forms of the traditional popular theater: in particular it connects Fo's work with such forms of the "minor" theater as storytelling, varieta, and the farce. Fo's characteristic use of "deceit en abyme" structures and his often-used reversal of point of view are examined both in their connection to the tradition and with his innovation of them.
520 $a The second chapter focuses on the playwright's use of the grotesque. Bakhtin's observations on the links between grotesque realism and the Carnival tradition are used as a mainstay in understanding the social function of laughter. In analyzing the two best known plays by Fo, Mistero buffo and Morte accidentale di un anarchico, the grotesque is viewed in relation to the playwright's vision of the world of the oppressed and the politics of the oppressor.
520 $a The third chapter investigates Fo's approach to the relationship between theater and knowledge; his evolution from "speaking for those who have been cut off from History" to his later view of the theater as a means of disseminating counter information capable of leading to revolutionary political action. His views on the "didacticism" of the theater are compared with Brecht's aesthetic theories as their respective remakes of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera are analyzed. The final section of the third chapter examines Franca Rame's specific contributions to the most recent co-authored plays, analyzing in particular her innovations of the grotesque linked to her stress on the tragic elements in women's experience.
