This book examines performative practices of the ancient Romans, and provides fresh insights into the contexts of the Roman theater. The author suggests looking at ancient Rome as a large stage for a variety of performances and complex negotiations. He reconstructs the main acting techniques employed in drama, Atellana, pantomime, and mime.

This book presents an interdisciplinary investigation into the emergence of the actor and the theater. It explains the role of bipedality, toolmaking and trance in the evolution of the performer, examines the performativity of space and writing, and argues that ancient culture emerged from dance.
