Résumé
Comedy and tragedy originated in Greece, from singing and dancing. By definition, dramatic art is an imitation of action. This artistic form was born during the passage from the archaic world to the democratic and classical Greece, and it is the ancestor and first form of philosophy. This birth was also shown in aesthetic ways by the historic and astonishing encounter of Apollo, the visionary god, the ultimate achiever in painting, sculpture and poetry, and Dionysos, the god of ecstasy, music and delirious action.
The whole architecture of the ancient theatre, from antiquity to Renaissance, affords all the necessary support for the "action" and "voice" of the players themselves. The theatre was built as a musical instrument, on an acoustical geometry and the plan of heavens. This lasted until the advent of the "scenographic theatre", during the Renaissance, built on the optic geometry of scientific perspective. This led to the triumph of visual illusion and of Deus ex machina in the baroque theatre, to the disadvantage, of actors and poets. Through this musical dimension of drama that will be carried, the study of the "theatrical space" of architecture. Mainly, it is from the drama of Dionysos, which in terms of aesthetics shows us the musical origin of the Greek Theatre, and from the drama of Prospero, which shows us the place of music in Shakespearian Theatrum Mundi , that will be showed, finally, the architecture of the Globe Theatre which as the last representative of this classical idea and conception of the theatre, founded on the action of characters and the musicality of poetic language.
