Abstract

Abstract:This is a post-production report on a student reenactment of the Roman Ludi Megalenses (Megalensia), including a ludus scaenicus, at Illinois Wesleyan University in May 2013. Students studied and re-created some of the rituals commonly associated in antiquity with the worship of the Magna Mater, including a procession of both Phrygian worshippers and Roman citizens and a staged reading of Plautus' Pseudolus in Latin and English. We grappled with questions of text and metatheatricality, theatrical and sacred space, actors, music, movement, costumes (including masks), authenticity, audience reception and occasion. The reenactment allowed us to gain a unique historical perspective by “living history,” providing a laboratory for learning about ancient Roman ritual and theater practice.

摘要:本文是2013年5月在美国伊利诺斯卫斯理大学进行的一场学生再现罗马罗马竞技场(Megalenses)的后期制作报告，其中包括一个竞技场。学生们研究并重现了一些在古代通常与大主神崇拜有关的仪式，包括弗里吉亚崇拜者和罗马公民的游行，以及用拉丁语和英语分阶段朗读普劳图斯的《伪神颂》。我们努力解决文本和元戏剧性、戏剧和神圣空间、演员、音乐、运动、服装(包括面具)、真实性、观众接待和场合等问题。通过“活生生的历史”，我们获得了独特的历史视角，为了解古罗马的仪式和戏剧实践提供了一个实验室。
