Improvisational Plays in ancient Rome inspired what type of plays during the Renaissance? a. Comedia Del Farce b. Comedia Dellarte c. Comedia Del Teatro

The correct answer is B. Comedia Dellarte.

Explanation:

Comedia dellarte is a type of Italian folk theater, performances of which were created by improvisation, based on a script containing a short plot scheme of the performance, with the participation of actors dressed in masks. It was originated from a theater form in ancient Rome that consisted mostly of improvised farces, parodies and political satire around a number of regular characters.

It was a stage technique with no fixed rules, using no written text: the main content of the piece was set in a "scenario", on which the players improvised further, each according to their own taste and talent. As many allusions as possible to current events and persons were inserted, gaps in the act were filled with visual jokes, carefully prepared tirades, acrobatic antics, music, dance, pantomime, etc.
