Was the theatre similar to the theatre now?

When theatre was first 'invented' in ancient Greece, plays took place in enormous stadiums outdoors and only men were allowed to portray characters onstage, so masks were used to define each character, especially those that were women. Over time, masks became more and more elaborate. To show the masks off to the audience members, actors would face straight out rather than facing their fellow actors onstage. This eventually became known as "off-stage focus". Ancient Greek and Roman theatre was either comedy, involving light-hearted themes, or tragedy, in which most characters died. Theatre in ancient Italy was called Comedia d'ell Arte, also using masks, and was always very farcical in content. The same types of characters were used so often that the masks became known as those personalities. When this became well-known, artists stopped writing scripts and instead made up the story as it went along. This is known today as Improvisation. Today, one can see any type of theatre in any number of facilities, with both genders performing scripts that range from absolute farces to serious melodrama to anything in between. Theatre has changed very much, but one can still see the connections to it's ancient roots.


What Greek masks like?

Greek masks are made out of wood, cork, mud and linen. They can look like anything. The Greeks made them very over the top so the audience could see clearly how they were meant to be feeling. They used very big lumps as eyebrows and noses. We are making Greek masks in history and it is really fun.


Who invented the carnival mask?

The invention of carnival masks is not attributed to a specific individual, as masks have been used in various cultures and festivals throughout history. Masks have been used in ancient Roman and Greek festivals, Venetian carnival traditions, and in many indigenous cultures around the world. The exact origins and creators of the carnival mask are therefore difficult to pinpoint.


Did the greek theatre have an altar at the middle?

Because the greek theatre was a sacred space and the entire building was used to honour Dionysus god of wine, the vine and theatre. The theatre was only used once each year for the festival Dionysia. In the theatre of Athens there were sacrifices made to Dionysus at the alter. Sacrifices were very important to the ancient greeks as it gave them piece of mind that the gods would appreciate them.
