This is the first comprehensive and illustrated study of the most
important form of theatre in the entire Roman Empire - pantomime,
the ancient equivalent of ballet dancing. Performed for more than
five centuries in hundreds of theatres from Portugal in the West to
the Euphrates, from Gaul to North Africa, solo male dancing stars -
the forerunners of Nijinsky, Nureyev, and Baryshnikov - stunned
audiences with their erotic costumes, subtlety of gesture, and
dazzling athleticism. In sixteen specially commissioned and
complementary studies, the leading world specialists explore all
aspects of the ancient pantomime dancer's performance skills,
popularity, and social impact, while paying special attention to
the texts that formed the basis of this distinctive art form.
