Who is Fisico Ballare Teatro?

His early life - WW2

Fo's Theatrical Intentions

- “War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself."

- “Nevertheless, the mode, the justification, and all the games involved in this war were dishonest.”

Dario Fo is not only respected through out the world of theatre and the arts, but he is now seen as power house in Italian politics.

He is seen as a reliable source, a voice of the people and a contemporary, loyal to the progression of art and political growth.

A great man, a great writer and a great actor.

We are a student theatre company set up this year at Bath Spa University. Our aim is to combine the best that physical theatre, dance and multimedia production has to offer. To make new productions that do not follow the norms of 21st century productions.

- “During the spring of 1970 the comrades who were coming to see our shows- workers, students and progressives- were asking us to write a full- length piece on the Milan bombings and the murder of Pinelli, a piece which would discuss the political motives and consequences of these events”

- "The important thing was to act and act fast. “
