Dario Fo
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"The great speculators [of American capitalism] wallow in an economy that every years kills tens of millions of people with poverty [in the Third World] — so what is 20,000 dead in New York? Regardless of who carried out the massacre [of 9-11], this violence is the legitimate daughter of the culture of violence, hunger and inhumane exploitation.”--Dario Fo commenting on 9/11 |

Dario Fo (1926 – 2016) was an Italian writer, performer, artist and political activist of the Italian left-wing, best known for his play Mistero Buffo (1969).
Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari (medieval strolling players) and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte.
