Commedia dell'Arte: Using Language to Connect and Create

The transcript discusses the concept of Gromala, a form of emotional babble that sounds like language but lacks logical meaning. It is used as an improvisation tool to free the brain from logic and judgment. Gromala allows actors with different dialects to understand each other and helps audiences grasp the essence of performances, even if they don't understand the actual words. Historically, the church viewed Gromala and Commedia troupes as outlaws, associating them with the dissemination of Renaissance ideas and the devil's tongue.
