►As Schechner says,
► Efficacy and entertainment are not so much opposed to each
other; rather they form the poles of a continuum (figure 4.4). The
basic polarity is between efficacy and entertainment, not
between ritual and theater. Whether one calls a specific
performance “ritual” or “theater” depends mostly on context and
function. (Schechner, 1988: 130)
