<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Theban private tombs dated to the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BC) belonged to elite officials that wanted
to preserve their memory and identity for eternity and ensure their rebirth in the afterlife. These tombs have a magical function related to the mortuary cult and the interaction between the living and the dead inside them. During some festivals and other
events, these monuments were visited by friends or relatives of the deceased or even by other random visitors, such as priests or artists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This liminal aspect of the private tombs is clear on some dance scenes painted on the walls of these monuments.
They depict moments in which the borders between the world of the living and the world of the dead are erased and the living, the dead, and the gods can communicate with each other. We can divide these scenes into two main groups: dance within banquet scenes
and dance within funerary processions. Both of them have a characteristic iconography, which makes them easily recognizable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This lecture aims to analyse the private Theban tombs and their structure as liminal spaces. We can see
some of the moments of interaction depicted in their decoration and inscriptions. Within this decoration, this talk will mainly focus on dance scenes, which are the main topic of my research, and which have their own differential features. Through them, we
will explore some aspects of the ancient Egyptian religious belief and the view of the afterlife that this civilization had.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
