Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The artistic strategy of Fo and Rame that makes theater the instrument of a cultural, civil and political project, makes use above all of comedy. The importance of comedy does not involve the expulsion of the tragedy. The poetics of the couple suppose in fact that the two components coexist in the objective of reawakening the understanding of the tragic components of facts through laughter. To arouse laughter the two actors use farce, satire, the grotesque, the absurd, the obscene. In the texts that describe the female condition, laughter is sought in complicity with the public
