Abstract

In different passages of the palliata it is possible to read indications of the ritual logics that frame the ludi scaenici. Certain masks mimic a histrionic auctoritas allowing the theatrical event to proceed through the power of a hilarious parody of the ritual celebration. This ability to persuade viewers to enter the playful space of the performance also includes a demand: silence, attention and fair evaluation by their part. Actors and public join together to officiate and to assist in the theatrical convivium based in a pact of equitable reciprocity which relevance is analyzed in this article.
