Slide 2: The structure of the Roman theater

The Roman theater arose when the patriarchal-tribal system decomposed. He did not know the public dance forms of the Greek theater and did not rely on the amateur performances of the urban population. The Roman theater was immediately professional. The Roman theater was not associated with the cult of a deity, as in Greece, so it did not have the same social significance. Actors were not respected, but despised people. They were recruited from among slaves and freedmen and could be beaten for poor performance.

slide 4

Performances were staged in honor of public holidays, as well as at any other time at the initiative of one of the noble citizens. For a long time there were no permanent theatrical buildings in Rome. For performances, special temporary wooden structures were built, which were broken at the end of the performance. The first permanent stone theater was built around 55 BC. commander Gnaeus Pompey the Great and accommodated 17 thousand spectators. By the end of the 1st century BC. in Rome, two more theaters appeared, accommodating up to 45 thousand spectators. The building became uniform in height - three-story. Cooled the audience in the theater plumbing. The theater in Rome had a curtain; before the start of the performance, it was lowered in front of the stage.

slide 5

The birth of the main genres of Roman literature was associated with the imitation of Greek and Hellenistic models. The works of the first Roman playwright Livius Andronicus (c. 280-207 BC) were a reworking of Greek tragedies of the 5th century. BC, as well as most of the writings of his followers Gnaeus Nevius (c. 270–201 BC) and Quintus Ennius (239–169 BC). At the same time, Gnaeus Nevius is credited with creating the Roman national drama - pretexts (Romulus, Clastidia); his work was continued by Ennius (The Rape of the Sabine Women) and Actions (170 - c. 85 BC), who completely abandoned mythological subjects (Brutus).

slide 6

Andronicus and Nevius are also considered the first Roman comedians who created the Palleata genre (a Latin comedy based on a Greek story); Nevius took material from the Old Attic comedies, but supplemented it with Roman realities. The heyday of the Palleata is associated with the work of Plautus (mid-III century - 184 BC) and Terentius (c. 195-159 BC), who were already oriented towards the neo-Attic comedy, especially Menander; they actively developed everyday topics (conflicts between fathers and children, lovers and pimps, debtors and usurers, problems of education and attitudes towards women).

Slide 7

In the second half of the II century. BC. the Roman national comedy (togata) was born; Aphranius stood at its source; in the first half of the 1st c. BC. Titinius and Atta worked in this genre; they portrayed the life of the lower classes and ridiculed the decline of morals. At the end of the II century. BC. Atellana (Pomponius, Noviy) also received a literary form; now it was played after the performance of the tragedy for the amusement of the spectators; often she parodied mythological subjects; the mask of an old rich miser, eager for positions, acquired special significance in it. Then, thanks to Lucilius (180-102 BC), satire turned into a special literary genre - a satirical dialogue.

slide 8: circus

In Rome, the largest city of antiquity, there were seven circuses. All of them were arranged in almost the same way, but the most extensive and oldest of them was the so-called Great Circus. This circus was in a valley formed by two hills, the Palatine and the Aventine. The main performance was horse racing in chariots. According to legend, such races were established by one of the founders of Rome, Romulus. Later, around 600 BC, the first wooden circus was built in this valley. Over the centuries, it expanded more and more, was decorated with marble, bronze, and by the beginning of our era took shape in a grandiose hippodrome, designed for 150 thousand spectators.

Slide 9

According to its structure, the Great Circus was primarily a rectangular arena in terms of plan. Rising rows of seats for the public were located along its entire length on both sides. A curious feature of the circus arena was the back - a wide (6 meters) and low (1.5 meters) stone wall, which, like a ridge, divided the arena into two halves. Tourists who come to Rome from different countries still admire the ruins of the Colosseum, which was once a huge amphitheater - with a circumference of more than 500 meters and a capacity of about 50 thousand people. The Colosseum itself was called in antiquity the Flavian Amphitheater - after the family name of the emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, under whom this monumental spectacular building was created.

Slide 10

In the Roman circus, not only winners-charioteers were awarded, but also winners-horses. People received money and expensive clothes, and palm branches and wreaths (which were also awards) were received by both people and horses. Also, gladiatorial fights were public spectacles, which reached an extraordinary scale under the Roman emperors (for example, Augustus staged gladiator fights eight times, and 10 thousand people participated in them). One of the favorite gladiator fights was the so-called fishing. The first of them, armed with a sword and with a shield, wore an image of a fish on his helmet. The second used a sharply sharpened trident as a weapon and was equipped with a metal net). The purpose of the "game" was that the retiarius had to entangle the enemy with a net, knock him to the ground and, if the audience wished, finish off the "fish" with a trident; the task of the other was to escape unscathed from the “fisherman” and at the first convenient moment to hit him with a sword ...

11

slide 11

The armor of the gladiators, beautiful in appearance, left large areas of the body unprotected: the fighters were obliged to entertain the audience with their wounds, blood, and finally death, which increased the public's interest in the fight. It goes without saying that the gladiators were well trained in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. They were taught this in gladiatorial barracks schools (both private and imperial), where cruel cane discipline reigned - up to and including being beaten to death. First of all, the gladiators were prisoners of war (“barbarians”, as the Romans contemptuously called them.

12

slide 12

The fate of the gladiators was hard, but even worse was the fate of the bestiaries (hunters), who fought with wild animals - boars, bears, panthers, lions. In Rome, there was a special school for them, but most often convicts acted as bestiaries. They were released into the arena almost unarmed - with a short sword or a light spear. In addition to such "spectacles", animal persecution was organized in the Colosseum. The rhinoceros was forced to fight with the elephant, the panther with the bull, the bear with the boar. Often they were tied in pairs with lassoes, and the audience came into a frenzy of delight when the animals began to torment each other.

13

slide 13

In the same Colosseum, trained animals were shown: lions caught hares and released them unharmed, elephants danced and, according to Roman custom, reclined at tables with food; in the Great Circus, competitions of gymnasts, run-ups, fisticuffs, discus throwing were held. These spectacles did not arouse enthusiasm among the expansive Roman public and gradually disappeared altogether, as they did not satisfy the principles of the same notorious policy - “bread and circuses” ... Such were the circuses and circus spectacles in Ancient Rome. Thus, in blood and pain, the art of the circus was born.

Musical Art of Ancient Rome

slide 15

At the end of antiquity, Rome played an important role in the musical life of the slave-owning society. The musical art of this vast colonial empire reflected its wealth, antiquity of culture, artistic talent of the people and, at the same time, the impending decline and disintegration of the slave-owning world.

16

slide 16

The Roman capital lived a noisy and luxurious, however, superficial musical life. Music was used for lavish spectacles and bloody circus competitions.

slide 2

What is a circus? The mean lines of the dictionary are unlikely to reveal to you all the uniqueness, brightness, entertainment and circus art.
Circus 1. (from lat. circus - circle) a kind of spectacular art, the presentation of which is built according to its own laws. 2. The special building for these performances is also called a circus.

slide 3

Spectators of performances are delighted with the most complicated tricks and subtle humor of cheerful clowning.

slide 4

The fearless and talented ability of training our smaller brothers and the miracle of exquisite tricks causes admiration.

slide 5

The circus occupies a special place among the arts; circus is a visual art (it is not afraid of language barriers) and universal (it is available to any public).

slide 6

Sometimes they say that the circus is entertainment for children, but this is completely wrong. Another thing is true: you can go to the circus with the whole family, and everyone will get their share of pleasure.

Slide 7

The circus brings together and unites different countries and eras. Its motto is "Come in, come in, hasten to see the greatest spectacle on earth!"

Slide 8

The first stationary circus known to us - the Great Circus (Circus Maximus), was named in 7 BC. one of the wonders of Rome. Its building has been transformed and rebuilt over the course of several centuries.

Slide 9

The Roman circus had very little in common with the modern circus performance: it was the venue for a number of popular "spectacles", especially horse racing and chariot races.

Slide 10

There is historical evidence that in ancient Rome (as, in fact, in ancient Greece, Byzantium, China and other countries), wandering circus troupes, consisting of acrobats, tightrope walkers, jugglers, were also known.

slide 11

They gave performances in urban and rural areas. Already in ancient times there were people whose craft was to entertain their own kind, showing miracles of dexterity and flexibility, and sometimes demonstrating trained animals.

slide 12

Wandering artists and circus performers appeared in Europe in the Middle Ages. We meet him at French, Flemish, German, English fairs. Today we have only a very remote idea of ​​the magnificence and significance of these noisy crowded festivals that took place in China and Europe, India and Mecca at the bustling crossroads of great trade routes.

slide 13

Actors from all over the world flocked to the Nizhny Novgorod fair in Russia; and nearby there was a brisk trade: the Chinese brought here silks, the Tatars - furs, the British - fabrics. These fairs were organized both for the sake of trade and for the performances of itinerant actors, eternal wanderers.

Slide 14

The mobile circus building is called a tent (from the French chapiteau - capital, cap), and is a system of high central masts and side posts, on which a canvas tent is stretched.

slide 15

And what were the wandering artists called in Rus'?

slide 16

Buffoons!

Slide 17

Already by the beginning of the 20th century. the structure of the circus performance is changing dramatically. Carpet clowns and trainer clowns appear in the stationary circus. Tamers move from menageries to the circus.

Slide 18

A huge leap is taking place in the genre of aerial gymnastics: after the introduction of a safety net, it becomes possible to qualitatively complicate tricks.

Slide 19

At the beginning of the 20th century acrobats and gymnasts get a new attribute: a flip board that increases the height of the jump. And with the technical revolution of the early 19th century. numbers and attractions based on the use of technology are becoming much more complicated: from “racing along a vertical wall” to “flying from a cannon to the moon”; from "fairy tales on the water" to a burst of new possibilities.

Slide 20

In the new century, the circus has serious rivals. Firstly, the music hall with its spotlights, scenery, costumes, music, and sophisticated technical devices. The second competitor was cinema.

slide 21

But we can say with confidence: none of these new forms has succeeded in crushing the circus, not a single fashion has so far managed to turn the public away from the beloved art for a long time.

slide 22

It is impossible to sort out the magic of the emotional charge of the circus arena. You just have to come to the circus.

slide 23

THE BEST CIRCUS IN THE WORLD
The Canadian "Circus of the Sun" is one of the largest in the world, a dynamically developing network of circuses, which is spread over five continents. The theatrical approach based on colorful characters made this circus a legend. The complete absence of animals on the stage helped to earn the title of "modern circus" and they adhere to this rule to this day.

Slide 27

Paradise Show from the Middle Kingdom is a Chinese acrobatic troupe with 100 artists who are famous athletes. The troupe has a unique number that no one can repeat - it is juggling with umbrellas. The art of this number has been honed over thousands of years, its secret was strictly kept and passed down in acrobatic dynasties. For revealing the secret of the flexibility of a snake woman in ancient China, the death penalty was due. There are no trainers and animals in this circus.

Slide 28

The presentation was made by S. G. KIRILOVA. Primary school and music teacher at the private Russian school "Pythagoras' Pupils" Limassol. Cyprus.
