The article discusses the relationship between anthropology and theater, more specifically between the anthropological notion of ritual and the idea of theater from the performing arts. We search the interinfluences, the similarities and striking differences between ritual and theater, focusing on popular culture, especially the carnaval of samba schools and the bumba meu boi. We emphasize the different forms of temporality in ritual processes and the quality of performance that modifies the most common and descriptive ways of understanding popular culture.
