The Skull Chamber in the Chauvet Cave
En Route Towards a Theatre
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2022
Abstract
A cave bear skull from the Upper Paleolithic is carefully positioned on a modified block in the Skull Chamber of Chauvet Cave. The Skull Chamber, as the culmination of a speleological parcours, has apparently been strategically modified in order to increase its performative potential — an early architectural attempt to reconfigure a space en route towards a theatre.
