The paper proposes to to establish the basis for dialogue between archaeologists, heritage site managers and theatre makers to provide new relevance to ancient sites through performance. It shows how animation may be used as a means to bridge the difference between archeological concerns and public interest, and how because of the particular nature of the site, performacne should not be plied to commoditization, but should seek to contextualise the site within a contemporary way of life.
