| dbo:abstract | A medieval pageant is a form of procession traditionally associated with both secular and religious rituals, often with a narrative structure. Pageantry was an important aspect of medieval European seasonal festivals, in particular around the celebration of Corpus Christi, which began after the thirteenth century. This festival reenacted the entire history of the world, in processional performance, from Bible's Genesis to the Apocalypse, employing hundreds of performers and mobile scenic elements. Plays were performed on mobile stages, called waggons, that traveled through towns so plays could be watched consecutively. Each waggon was sponsored by a guild who wrote, designed, and acted in the plays. Other pageants in the Christian world have centered on Saints' festivals, Carnival (Mardi Gras), and Easter, while vernacular agrarian festivals have celebrated seasonal events such as the harvest, and the Summer and Winter solstices. Drawing on this medieval tradition contemporary artists such as Bread and Puppet Theater, the Welfare State, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, Spiral Q, and Superior Concept Monsters have used pageants as a potent community-based performance form. (en) I pageants (singolare: pageant, comunemente chiamati in lingua inglese anche pageant wagons) erano in epoca medievale dei carri trainati da buoi che trasportavano sopra di essi le scene rappresentate nei miracle plays o mystery plays. Si trattava più comunemente di carri costituiti da costruzioni in legno a uno o due piani; mentre il piano sottostante veniva utilizzato come spogliatoio per gli attori, quello sovrastante era il palco vero e proprio su cui veniva rappresentata la scena. Il termine pageant, nel significato moderno, è rimasto ad indicare una cerimonia spettacolare, in ricordo dell'antico utilizzo dei carri nel corso delle sacre rappresentazioni. L'utilizzo dei pageants è attestato a partire dal teatro medievale nella zona delle Midlands, a differenza dell'Anglia orientale e delle zone meridionali dove si utilizzavano comuni strutture lignee non mobili come nel resto d'Europa. Nei Paesi Bassi si usavano invece i wagenspel con fini analoghi ai pageants anglosassoni. Successivamente il termine pageant venne utilizzato per denominare le complesse macchine in legno impiegate in epoca Tudor per la rappresentazione dei masque. L'aspetto reale dei carri è questione controversa: mentre l'iconografia coeva non conserva testimonianze precedenti il 1580 circa, le descrizioni dei testimoni dell'epoca fanno supporre che i carri avessero uno o due piani e che possedessero sei o quattro ruote. In un caso, ci viene descritto un carro a due sole ruote sebbene non fosse propriamente un carro adibito ad uso spettacolo. (it) Pageant är ett engelskt ord som skiftat betydelse genom tiderna.
