Dario Fo - Lo Zanni

[@johnmorax7436]

For the confused rest of the world: Dario Fo is portraying a starving farmer of the middle ages. He's so hungry that first fantasies about eating himself and the people around him. After that he dreams of cooking and eating a giant meal straight out of the pot. In the end he realizes that he's hallucinating, there is no pot and no food. At this point he catches a fly. He slowly eats it and goes away happily like he had a satisfying meal. The language spoken is a mix of ancient Italian dialects and other words he probably invented himself, known as "Grammelot". Now that you know it, enjoy this masterful performance.

Il gramelot è il linguaggio onomatopeico, di base sono parole che assomigliano a suoni o vocaboli reali e servivano ai commedianti per poter mettere su spettacoli in un Italia linguisticamente divisa .

[@xanaxddu71]

Gramelot is a sort of theatrical esperanto made of italian dialects and creating a sort of slang of its own any time different due actor performative abilities

I'm doing a project on Commedia, and unfortunately I do not speak Italian. Could you please provide subtitles.

[@lucamattiazzo6780]

... it is impossible to translate ... he speak a not real language called grammelot ... the most part of the words are invented

[@lippaus88]

@Giorgio Dastice ok go on and translate it Smart ass

[@o_o............]

@Giorgio Dastice it's impossible to do a proper translation, a lot of words aren't real. You can translate the meaning, but not the original speech.

[@nonononocatvstheworld804]

Basically he's portraying a starving farmer who's dreaming about cooking, but the language is invented and that's why you cannot find a translation.

[@SUMERUP]

Can we get some subtitles, please😊

[@axoram]

impossible translation ... talks about the hunger of farmers in ancient dialect

[@andrewward441]

I show this to my American drama students as an example of how dialogue is unnecessary for universal action. They laugh, even though they don't understand what he is saying because what he does is recognizable regardless of language.

[@nonononocatvstheworld804]

The character is a starving man who dreams about cooking but the language is invented and it resembles dialect, but it isn't.

[@godisdeadandwememedhim4174]

There is a comment that explains everything. You are not loosing a lot of the experience because he mostly talking in gramelot (ro gibberish if you are less poetic), a language made of real words mixed with senseless words.

[@xanaxddu71]

​@@andrewward441hi consider it is for that italian people use to act also with large gestures while speaking bout anything. Italians talking is bound to acting for showing better emotional reasons of what they are talking bout

@@compagniaelvira Ma per carità, vai a spiegare agli "attori, registi e drammaturghi da tutto il mondo" che abbiamo vissuto in un paese dove per decenni l'arte è stata inquinata dalla politica di sinistra. Se non eri "compagno" non facevi carriera se ti andava bene o venivi ignorato o boicottato se ti andava male, praticamente fu replicata l'epoca fascista in "chiave democratica" cioè o sei dei nostri o sparisci.
