An
artifact is something that was made as a historic legacy. Forms of artifacts
can be in the form of objects, writings, buildings and works of art. One of the
works of art that remains a historical drama. Art drama is a senior who is
quite old. Drama first developed in the western world, which originated from
Greece and Rome. Forms of stage in the Greek era to form an open stage at a
height. Surrounded by visitors' seats which circle the hill, the stage is in
the middle. Greek drama is a religious expression in a ceremony called
religious. The drama has now been developed all over the world. Drama in this
era has been processed in a modern style. Drama also cannot draw from its
history which makes drama an artifact. Then why is Drama classified as a
cultural artifact?
At
the beginning of the appearance of the drama is a picture of life that happened
at that time and is directly related to culture. At that time the drama was
associated with a worship ceremony for the God of Sheep / Oxen. Before the
staging of the drama, there was a sacrificial ceremony for the sheep / bull to
Dyonisius and a song called "tragedy". During its development,
Dyonisius, who had been an animal deity, turned into a human, and was worshiped
as a god of wine and fertility.
According
to Balthazar Verhagen, drama is an art that depicts human nature and attitudes
with motion. In other words drama is a form or picture of human life that is
delivered dramatically.
in
Ancient Greek times, drama was a caricature of the grief story with the aim of
insinuating the suffering of human life. This shows that drama is not only intended
for worship but also to illustrate how life happened at that time which of
course is directly related to culture.
drama plays in Greece generally revolve around
tragedies and comedies. And all have a relationship with the ancient world
through mythology, Greek gods, Greek empire, religious representation or Greek
society and culture. Greek theater will paint a picture of the legendary Greek
kingdom.
In
conclusion, drama in ancient Greece was usually a representation of life in its
time. Usually played in conjunction with traditional ceremonies or when going
to make offerings to the gods accompanied by slaughtering sheep. Until now
drama is still often shown. And must always be maintained. Because drama is
tied to the important history of the world.
