Yeats, Noh theater and celtic mythology

At the beginning of the 20th century the Irish author William Butler Yeats reuses Japanese Noh theater to bring forward the Irish Literary Revival.
The Noh forms, characterized by highly codified movements, are adapted to celtic mythology. As a result dance finally enters the theater circuit as a serious art form even though through the backdoor.

My Lizenziatarbeit concentrated on the different functions of the dancing scenes in the plot.
