It is a collective creation where the poets, the choir and the public interact; the latter, very knowledgeable, applauds, smiles or poutes, evaluating the poets like an informal jury; he anticipates the verses and is able to memorize stanzas or even entire passages of a joust to compare it to others which have preceded it.<\/p>\n<p>Against this background of improvisation, everything is however rigorously codified: unfolding of the joust in three stages (exordium, themes and sung hagiography of the Saint), obligatory course of the arguments of the theme, but also of the verses of the stanza, behavior, postures and gestures of poets, etc.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>By drawing lots for their theme, the poets must defend it and identify with it: they become Love, Hatred, Wealth or Poverty. So that what they give to see and hear to the people gathered in the square under the gaze of the saint, is the game of simulated destinies that chance has assigned them by lot, and that they must assume. time to park it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mythologie Sarde Wiki \u00ab Terra di poesia \u00bb : c\u2019est par cette expression que les Sardes eux-m\u00eames d\u00e9signent leur \u00eele. &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2574,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2587","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2587"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24815,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2587\/revisions\/24815"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
