Summary/Abstract: The theatrical act was born out of man's need to communicate with the Divinity. We realize, therefore,that man's thinking is based on a vision necessarily involving His existence, theatre being a manifestation by which man tried to attain this; and although its original intention does not refer to the „profane” dimension of existence, the birth of the theatre performance is, in this dialogue, an important step in the process of desacralization.
