A few remarks about interludes from Lwow College of Theatine Priests

Abstract

The article concerns interludes on Theatine order’s stage in Lwow college. The very little information about interludes available is included in manuscripts and printed theatre programmes. Interludes were designed for entertaining the audience, and at the same time served the purpose of propagating the Unified Catholic Church among the Armenians. The use of Armenian and Polish languages made them closer to the audience, which made the interlude’s task of complementing and commenting the play, and trying to convince the spectators to the idea of unification, much easier.
