AB The similarity between two folkloric expressions, some macabre dances still celebrated in Tibetin the context of Buddhist ceremonies, and the Verges death dance at Catalonia, includedamong the Christian Passion episodes, is worth paying attention to. In both of them the presenceof skeletons brings us back to the origins of the Death Dance and its spread throughoutChristian Europe in the late Middle Ages, as files and documents, as well as iconographyand the preserved dramatic texts can attest. This article presents some Catalonian examplesso far hardly taken into account within the European framework, and proposes hypotheseson the birth of this genre as related to the Franciscan friars and their midwife role.
