V originále
Since the first human communities were formed, people have used more powerful means of description than just words (or onomatopoeic sounds). Using the whole body to represent a character (either human or non-human) still stimulates our imagination. We can conduct anthropological research on this just as we can on any other mimetic behaviour representing reality. Since ancient Greek-culture, theatre has used a mixture of means to appeal to the audience’s consciousness while re-presenting reality, masking, and uncovering the characteristics of society and forcing the audience to engage in reflection.
