Abstract

Plautus’ theatre still occupies a remarkable place within contemporary culture, mostly for its scenic verve. for this reason, it seems always more necessary to reflect on how we can use the cultural heritage that his comedies form. An ecdotic research led on his texts brought new results that can and must be linked with the performative experience of those professionals of theatre that are able to bring nowadays Plautus’ palliatae on stage. this is why we chose to put together a theorical reflection – suspended between ancient and contemporary – with the analysis of recent collaborations between the philologist and the metteur en scène. these experiences of cooperation mostly regard the Asinaria and the Miles Gloriosus, works that made it possible to acquire a new consciousness of contemporary arrangements of Plautus, but also – and probably most of all – of the status in which direct, indirect, and critical tradition delivered his texts to us.
