    Firstly, we can see very strict organisation of the ritual. The same set of elements is reproduced; the roles of participants and spectators are rigidly determined; an opportunity of improvisation is reduced to a minimum. Properly speaking, there is only one person who develops any creative activity Nitsch himself. The others merely realize his scenario or passively observe what’s going on.
