Zusammenfassung:Processions among the ancient Maya included music, dance, costumes, and theatrical performances and took place in public spaces. This paper relates performance and space to examine public ceremonies, exploring the limits of archaeological interpretation of such ephemeral aesthetic experiences. Large public ceremonies also are used to illuminate similar practices that occurred on a smaller scale in more private contexts.
