WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TRAGIC: GREEK PLAYS FOR THE MODERN AGE by Johanna Skibsrud
“In the ancient Greek context, tragedies
employed masks — a performance
element that explicitly connected Greek
drama with the ritual practices from
which it emerged. For both theater and
ritual, masks created a liminal space in
which the borders between self and other,
the represented and the real, became
blurred and uncertain.”
