Abstract

The authenticity of folklore performances depends on the context, not only performance mode. Rituals and customs (weddings, carnivals, etc) appear on stage with the intent of reviving and safeguarding in memory the traditional way of life which is dying out so quickly. The staging and dramatization of rituals and customs is a twofold attempt to preserve through adaptation. The result is a theater performance.
