Resumo: In this article, we aimed to point two important mechanisms of scenic performance in the plays of the Greek comedy writer Aristophanes (V BC). Our start assumption is that it is possible to find in the text important marks for the scenic operationalization of those comedies. In the time when those comedies were composed, the author knew the material conditions of scenic performance and he used some interesting strategies, and we highlight two of them: (i) he inserted reminder-speech inside the sing of chorus to work as a prompter for the coreutas' choreography; (ii) he used the chorus' collective body to indicate to the spectator which scenic elements deserve the attention for being important for the progress of the plot. These two play composition strategies are similar, but not equal, to the contemporary concepts of prompter and focalization.

Partimos do pressuposto de que é possível encontrar no texto elementos que são importantes para a operacionalização cênica das comédias daquela época. Neste artigo mostraremos que, no momento de composição, sabendo das condições materiais da realização cênica, o comediógrafo utilizava algumas interessantes estratégias, dentre as quais destacaremos duas: (i) ele inseria falas-lembrete nos cantos corais que serviam como um ponto para a coreografia dos coreutas, e (ii) ele usava o corpo coletivo do coro como um sinalizador que indicava ao espectador os elementos cênicos que são importantes para o desenvolvimento do enredo e que, por isso, mereciam atenção da plateia. Essas duas estratégias presentes na composição das peças são similares, não idênticas, aos conceitos atuais de ponto e focalização. Universidade Estadual De Maringá2017-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documenthttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/3163910.4025/actascilangcult.v39i3.31639Acta Scientiarum.
