| Description | The thesis deals with the correlation between the decoration of the façade of Notre-Dame-la-Grand from the beginning of twelfth century, thus its static architectonical and sculptural elements, and the para-theatrical events performed adjacent to it. The textual reference of the discussed frieze seems to be twofold – a liturgical drama called Ordo Prophetarum (Play of Prophets) and the The Play of Adam (Jeu d'Adam) - yet, there is no certainty, nor the general agreement, about which play is actually depicted there (if any). The aim of this thesis is, therefore, to focus on the spatial arrangement of both the inside (the choir as the privileged place where most of the performances of liturgical drama in the Early and High Middle Ages took place) and outside (façade as a backdrop for the staged action) of the church. |
