Performance Ritualization

Performance Ritualization is a theoretical construct within Theatre Anthropology that denotes a codified performative process in which aesthetic, bodily, and symbolic actions are systematically structured and repeated to evoke transformative states, distinguishing it from other performance phenomena through its integration of ritual efficacy and dramaturgical intentionality in healing contexts.
