Drawing on folk legends, canonical texts from the fourteenth century and documents that have come to light in recent decades, the Nobel Laureate weaves a powerful, playful and certainly non-hagiographic account of the \u201cJester of God\u201d, as St Francis liked to call himself.<\/p>\n<p>Fo\u2019s story is \u2013 at the same time \u2013 spirituality and myth, fable and satire, and portrays Francis as a man who renounces all wealth to draw closer to the dispossessed, to preach a message of brotherhood and peace to men, wolves or birds, and to compose and set to music his <em>The Canticle of the Creatures<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Giving voice to this daring journey, marking the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis of Assisi, will be Ugo Dighero, a charismatic actor who for many years played the role of <em>Mistero Buffo <\/em>with the \u201cblessing\u201d and encouragement of Fo himself, a consummate showman and modern-day jester.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, 2026 is also a special year for commemorating Dario Fo: it marks the centenary of his birth and the tenth anniversary of his death. It is impossible not to celebrate his extraordinary theatrical career. Staging this marvellous farce today cannot fail to take into account that in 2013 the late Cardinal Bergoglio, having become Pope, chose \u2013 symbolically, politically and for the first time in history \u2013 the name Francis: the saint of peace and the smile, of the care of creation, of the poor Church for the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Following in Fo\u2019s footsteps, the production will thus unfold along two parallel paths, retracing the historical reality of Francis\u2019s journey through the Christian world whilst simultaneously recounting the reformist revolution that Pope Francis has sought to bring about in the Church of our time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free entry with booking via EventBrite<\/strong> <em>(coming soon)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>For further information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/festivalreligionipersiceto\/?locale=it_IT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Festival of Religions<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lu santo Jullare Francesco di Dario Fo con Ugo Dighero adattamento e regia di Giorgio Gallione Lu santo Jullare Francesco di Dario Fo \u00e8 una fabulazione sulla vita del santo [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2348,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"zona":[],"linea_mcp_tax":[],"tribe_events_cat":[230],"class_list":["post-2346","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-teatro-e-spettacoli","cat_teatro-e-spettacoli"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2347,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2346\/revisions\/2347"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2346"},{"taxonomy":"zona","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zona?post=2346"},{"taxonomy":"linea_mcp_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/linea_mcp_tax?post=2346"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/persiceto.uncoover.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=2346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
