Summary/Abstract: Dramatic and theatrical works of Dario Fo are part of the broader research of the grant task Migration of Italian and German Culture in the Central European Cultural Area. Some singularities emerged during the reception of Dario Fo, Italian playwright, actor, director: the continuity of dramatic and theater-publishing links to the rest of the Europe remained until 1990, especially thanks to translations and organizational work of Blahoslav Hečko, the founder of the agency DILIZA. Moreover, the study focuses on the reconstruction of the staging concepts of Fo’s plays staged in Slovakia: Archangels Don`t Play Pinball (Otto Haas, 1963), He Who Steals a Foot is Lucky in Love (K. Spišák, 1976), and also various versions of Comic Mystery (DSNP Martin 1995, Košice 2003), with a brief comparison of his reception in the Czech context, especially as directed by Peter Scherhaufer.
