| Description | The aim of the study is to argue that, while researching into medieval theatre, one need not to overlook the non-theatrical situations as well, such as royal entry, liturgy, etc. As the majority was even at the peak of Middle Ages illiterate, performance was a convenient medium to deliver meanings, ideologies and policies. The success of such institutions as the Church o the King highly depended on them mastering such theatrical devices as acting, stage design, scripting the event, etc. Concrete examples of these strategies are illustrated by the description of the Good Friday liturgy and royal coronation. |
