Abstract:
Natural ferocity dominates part of human society. Based on its spontaneous-instinctive needs and desires, it triggers off individual praxes and behaviors. Ideological definitions are collectively consecrated, forming ethic and mental orders. According to this, mimesis causes knowledge and catharsis regulates conscious behavior. The social function of theatre art in the classic Hellenic era differs radically from that of modern post-dramatic poetics in the sense that, whereas ancient dramas and games educated the members of polis to act publicly, as citizens, post-poetics culture encourages the reasonable beings to live individually, reviving their pre-conscious ferocity.
