Answer 1

Answer:

Greece

Explanation:

In ancient Greece, the theatre was one of the most important parts of the culture and art, as they valued the spoken word. It started to develop around 600 years BC. Dramatic arts were a means to explore and understand life, humans, and gods. The main genres were comedy and tragedy.

Comedy was used to put a satirical and humorous perspective on everyday life and human trains. They would often exaggerate stories and features with the masks. Some of the most famous comedies are Lysistrata, The Clouds, and the Frogs.

Greek tragedies are older than the comedies and the oldest ones come from Athens. Tragedies explored stories of love, loss, pride, conflict with gods, and so on. Many of them were based on myths and dealt with ideas of abusing the rules, without even realizing them, and then suffering the punishment. Some of the most famous tragedies are Antigone, Electra, Medea, Helen, and Heracles.
