Resumen de Il gesto nello spazio. Schemata di attori comici nei teatri di Roma
The actor’s gesture, linked to the theatrical word, is also connected to the space where it is visible: the theatre. In Rome, the late Republican and Augustan theatres assume new architectonic and decorative characteristics and new ideological meanings, consequently they are different from the theaters where first Latin tragedies and comedies were staged. Through a selected archaeological and literary documentation, we propose an assessment of comic actors’ schemata in the new theaters built in Rome from the second quarter of the 1st century BC.
