It engages with what Roland Barthes called the subtlety of life and focuses on a form of domestic ritual Tevaram and its translation into the space of theatre. Tevaram is articulated through different types of places; the intimate space of the house, in dialectic tension with the space of the temple and the public space of the theatre stage, allow us to investigate the question what is the space we live in? a question of wide impact that still needs singular answers.…

Therefore, the target of the relevant contributions consists in focusing on different contexts where the king or chieftain, or merely the patron of the sacrifice, gains his temporary pre-eminence in an agonistic way which includes an important non-permanent ascetic dimension. …
