Abstract

The author proposes the theory that the core of ur-theatre is to be found in rituals. He finds evidence to support his ideas in trance rituals in the Balkans, which still survive in folk tradition. Having subjected them to a scholarly analysis, he discovers in them dramatic analogues as constitutive elements of the theatre.
