"Apu Ollantay": Inca Theatre as an example of the modes of interaction between the Incas and Western Amazonian societies

Abstract: Abstract:The article looks closely at the Quechua play "Apu Ollantay" in order to better understand the relationships of power that the Incas established with the Amazonian corner of their empire, known in Inca terms as Antisuyu. It is argued that the drama "Apu Ollantay" functioned as a social and political device in order to enhance Inca imperial magnitude and project an image of a magnanimous ruler.

Os padrões numéricos utilizados na composição de Ollantay seguem o sistema decimal e duodecimal dos quipus: revela doze personagens que atuam ao longo de quinze cenas, a partir de quinze mudanças de cenários etc., conforme conclui estudo empreendido por Cristiana Bertazoni (2014).…”
