2 Scene From PaPa Laden

The historical origin of Grammelot theatre is not yet cleared, it has been specially popularized by the Nobel prize winner Dario FO (Italian playwright). His derisive touring show Mistero Buffo ("Comic Mystery Play") includes sketches based on medieval sources, told in Dario Fo's own grammelots made from archaic Po Valley dialects and phonemes from modern languages (he has done Italian, French and American grammelots into different genius). In his notes, Fo referred to the sixteenth century Italian play writer Ruzzante's invention of language which is much similar to based on Italian dialects, Latin, Spanish, German and onomatopoeic Sounds.

Another Notable Modern exponent is the Milan actor/writer Ferrario. He also used Grammelot as a language: for instance, Stanley Unwin.

The circus from Canada and entertainers troupe Xirque du soleil uses in their toutines same as we know language called Cirquish.
