Mistero Buffo is undoubtedly one of the most successful of our time. I heard on the radio today that if you make seventy replicas must be considered lucky, this has all the requirements of fortune, from his birth (1969) to date there are over five thousand installations throughout the world. This masterpiece
giullaresco against greed, hypocrisy and corruption, was born from intense research. Dario For - who are already interested in works giullaresche and sacred stories drawn from the apocryphal Gospels, which show a different Jesus than the one found in the synoptic Gospels - picked up in Italy and other countries a vast documentation on the theater and folk songs, medieval which were inspired and matrix of what will be "opera buffa. Another source of inspiration - as told by the same Fo - was the Paduan playwright Angelo Beolco, more commonly known as Ruzzante, who in the sixteenth using a grotesque and vulgar language ridiculed the poetry of the authors of time offering stories from the world's poor farmers. All these have contributed to the emergence of Mistero Buffo, which is the massive use of grammelot , an onomatopoeic language invented by the minstrels of four hundred years ago to give strength theatrical expression.
Initially designed as a show choir with a variety of performers, Mistero Buffo became minstrels told by one actor, namely the jester. The first passages were read at a meeting at the State University of Milan, its success was overwhelming, so much so that an intervention of a few minutes turned into a two hour show. Thus was born, among students meeting of the university, then moved to People's Homes, factories and makeshift theaters on rickety platforms, what later became a great work worldwide. The first script
Mistero Buffo was published in 1969 by co-operative play New Scene was founded by Dario For and Franca Rame, in the introduction of the work reads:
"Mistero buffo is a secular passion: a passion as saw and felt the people who attended the performances in the churchyard and in the streets of the Middle Ages. It is the original matrix of the Commedia dell'arte. show invention and spectacle of life, satire and anger, in which the religious is almost always taken as a pretext talk to the people, its problems and its condition, its relationship with the powerful. Not so the ritual of religion, but un'interetazione of religion in human and key people. The Christ who said: < È più facile che un cammello passi per la cruna di un ago, piuttosto che un ricco entri nel regno dei cieli >, the first commandments as Christ who preached love and communion of goods, has become the symbol of a church that for centuries has defended the powerful, has accumulated wealth, has exploited, as a state in time, the masses of the dispossessed. "
No wonder then that this was often represented in factories during the protests of workers and opposed by the Church. It is a work that tells of the powerful eyes of the people, the words of the people, rude gestures of the people. Amata from the poor and rejected by the powerful, mocking the rich, wine tavern and regenerating of the people. The time and strength have been right on the political obstructions and the Vatican, so that the RAI in 1977, after fifteen years had put the spotlight on Dario For and Franca Rame, welcomed them as heroes Vittoria this and other works. Today Mistero buffo can rely on a vast wealth of monologues that has multiplied over the years, but without losing its value and its idendità grotesquely popular. On October 9, 1997, as the author of Mystery comic and other works of world importance, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature Dario For, sublimating it a masterpiece whose success he has not stopped even today.
