Pantomime is a participatory form of theatre developed in England in the 18th century in which the audience is encouraged and expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and to shout out phrases to the performers.

Bathyllus () was a dancer/performer of pantomimus in Rome during the period of Augustus. Born in Alexandria, he was the favorite and lover of Maecenas.

As indicated by the name, it is primarily used for pantomime theatre in the classical Italian commedia dell'arte tradition which is performed daily. Besides this original function, the theatre leads a second life as a venue for ballet and modern dance.
