Exploring the Roman aspects of theatre, we found that the romans used and adapted greek theatre. Roman theatre was more violent and sexual and it changed what theatre did. Theatre became less philosophical and more of entertainment.
This is our attempt at trying a roman pantomime, detailing a roman myth. It was very difficult to create a piece of theatre with very little lines or understanding of the topic. It was interesting to try and explore the story without speaking or using dialogue, forcing us to be more emotive and use our physicality better to emphasize our theme.
The roman theatre evolved into the entertainment that we see today, it changed from the philosophical criticism of gods and heroes, to a more senseless event that keeps the audiences entertained. This changed the way theatre was made and performed.
