LOPEZ CROCKER, Ricardo. The Performance to the Righteous Judge Takes over Space. Theatricality, Religiosity and Aesthetics in a Sacred Place of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.2, pp.56-76.  Epub Feb 26, 2024. ISSN 2007-7610.  https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v8.n2.2021.a03.

This article explores links between theatricality and religiousness to show that the rites to the Just Judge - performative practices that would be considered extra-everyday by Barba (1992)- build an anthropological place of a sacred character in the chapel dedicated to this invocation of Jesus in the church of La Merced de San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas. It is based on an ethnographic research that helps analyze the configuration of a social space through its performative practices. Finally, it aims to contribute to the epistemological field of social studies by incorporating a scenic perspective.

Keywords : performance; anthropological place; theatricality; religiosity; image of the Righteous Judge.
