light on the forgotten theater through their studies, reflections and
experiences.

(comedy and tragedy);
Reasonable attemps of reconstructions of incomplete tetralogies;
Research on theater plots known for indirect tradition;
Developments of theatrical plot between the Greek and Latin world;
The influence of foreign theater traditions on the Greek and Roman theater;
The influence of other forms of camouflage art (dance, mime) on the development
of the Greek and Latin theatre;
New scenographic considerations based on the testimonies of internal captions,

New proposals for modern staging of ancient dramatic texts;
Medieval, humanistic, modern and contemporary traditions of ancient drama.
