FROM RITUAL TO THEATRE AND BACK: THE LASTOVO ISLAND CARNIVAL

Ivan Lozica ; Institut za etnologiju i folkloristiku, Zagreb, Croatia

Sažetak

This paper is an elaborated version of the text read at the international conference "Folklore Theatre in the Balkans and in the Danubian Basin Countries" and published in the collection of studies under the same title (Lozica 1984). The documentary film (in S8 format) about the Lastovo carnival in 1981 was shown to the participants at the conference. The aim of the paper is to point to the changes of structure of the carnival ritual on the Island of Lastovo during the last hundred years, keeping in mind the role of theatrical elements, representation and improvisation in performing the ritual. A hypothesis is given on repeated gradual weakening and strenghtening of rigidity of the ritual, which on the Lastovo Island gave ground first to the appearing and then again to disappearing of the phenomenon previously termed by Nikola Bonifačić Rožin as the "carnival drama".
