The Theater was born of the instinct of imitation, it is an art as old as humanity and had its greatest impulse from the exaltation to the gods. In the beginning were festivities that gradually were being perfected arriving at its current stage.
It is not a Greek invention, scattered throughout the rest of the world. Even before the flourishing of the Greek theater, the Egyptian civilization had in the theater one of the expressions of its culture. They were representations of religious origin, designed to exalt the main deities, especially Osiris and Isis.
It was in Egypt that the Theater flourished thanks to the genius of the Greek playwrights. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. For the Western world Greece is considered the cradle of the theater, although the origin is Egypt.
The Greek Theater had great momentum when an author and actor named Téspis, began to travel the cities with a cart that was playing a stage. He was the first to break with the recital traditions of choirs, featuring prominent roles as the protagonist.
To animate the Theater the Tragedy competitions were instituted, by Pisistratus in Athens, and Thespis was the winner of the first, in the year 534 BC.
