"Between Theater and Anthropology"

"Between Theater and Anthropology" explores how performance practices, rituals, and storytelling shape human cultures and societal identities. It examines the overlap between theatrical techniques—such as staging, acting, and symbolism—and anthropological methods of studying and understanding diverse communities. The approach highlights how performances—whether festivals, ceremonies, or social roles—serve as cultural expressions and mechanisms for social cohesion, identity, and change. By bridging theater and anthropology, this perspective enriches our understanding of human behavior, emphasizing the performative dimensions of cultural life and how communities communicate meaning through shared stories and enacted traditions.
