Featured review
Nobel Prize Dario Fo and the role of satire
In the interview, Dario Fo is featured as a special guest. During the interview, Luttazzi asks Fo a question about the nature of satire. Fo's response is that satire is an entirely free aspect of theater. This answer contains the broader response to the dilemma regarding the limits and rules of satire.
The text emphasizes that the topic of satire's limits is widely debated, and there is often a discussion about the need to establish boundaries or restrictions for satire itself. Some people argue that there are topics that cannot be touched or that certain terms should be avoided. However, the author highlights that satire was born precisely to break patterns and conventions, offering a disguised liberation through laughter.
The power of satire lies in its ability to question everything and everyone, sparing no one, not even religion. Satire can break taboos and challenge authority and power. This is what makes it dangerous for those who hold power, especially in a historical context where the masses are being driven by greed, hatred, and sexual impulses.
