Dario Fo was an Italian Nobel laureate, actor, and merciless satirist of power, whose theatre gave a voice to ordinary people. Fo's legendary Mysterio Buffo is now being seen at a time when laughter is once again needed. Mysterio Buffo is a series of joyful, physical, and insightful monologues that draw from the tradition of medieval wandering jesters and the voice of the people, which does not bow to power. Among the stories written by Fo, the performance includes The Wedding at Cana, The Birth of the Jester, The Resurrection of Lazarus, and Boniface VIII. Stories from centuries ago resonate directly with today: populism, corruption, the alliances of religion and economy, and human participation in society appear surprisingly familiar: whose voice is heard and who dares to use it? Mysterio Buffo had its Finnish premiere at KOM-teatteri in 1982. Erkki Saarela has toured with the performance.
