Greek Chorus
A Greek Chorus is a group of performers in ancient Greek theater who comment on the action of a play. They often represent the voice of the community or society, providing insights, reflections, and emotional responses to the events unfolding on stage. The chorus typically sings, dances, and recites lines, enhancing the storytelling and connecting the audience to the themes of the play.
In classical works, such as those by Sophocles and Euripides, the chorus serves to guide the audience's understanding and interpretation of the narrative. They often express moral lessons, foreshadow events, and provide background information, enriching the overall experience of the performance.
