How does the theatrical world interact with spirits? How do spirits gain agency through performance? How have modern-day theatrical conventions been dictated by multi-generational attitudes towards spirits? This brief study examines close relationship between theatre and spirits, a relationship manifested through ritual and religious practice, tracing the the changing attitudes towards spirits through theatre history.
