emmeleia
Early religious activity consisted of dancing in a forest glade for the gods. This morphed into a stage and dance floor in cities where actors were also progressively introduced, and depicted a traditional story of past events involving the downfall of a noble person; the chorus remained to dance and sing the accompaniment to the tragic events recited by the actors.In its developed form, a consecutive trilogy of inter-linked tragedies was performed, followed by a cleansing duo of a filthy satyr play and a comedy. The overall effect was catharthis - a day of mind-blowing tragedy and a mind-clearing transition to laughter. This was done as part of a religious festival, with several days of the tragedy-satyr-comedy sequence repeated.
