In theatres, beginning in Elizabethan London, a jig was a short comic drama that immediately followed a full-length play. This phenomenon added an additional comic or light-hearted offering at the end of a performance. A jig might include songs sung to popular tunes of the day, and it might feature dance, stage fighting, cross-dressing, disguisings, asides, masks, and elements of pantomime.

  • Jig ou Jigg é o nome genérico dado a uma pequena comédia burlesca, para de dois a cinco personagens, cantada em versos com melodias bem conhecidas, com números de danças animados; foi popular na Inglaterra e na Europa continental a partir de c.1550. No teatro londrino era apresentada junto com divertimentos mais sérios, mas no inicio do século XVII tornou-se cada vez mais libertina, e foi transformada num número de canto e dança mais formal, ou uma farsa em prosa, forma em que continuou até o final do século XVIII.

  • In theatres, beginning in Elizabethan London, a jig was a short comic drama that immediately followed a full-length play. This phenomenon added an additional comic or light-hearted offering at the end of a performance. A jig might include songs sung to popular tunes of the day, and it might feature dance, stage fighting, cross-dressing, disguisings, asides, masks, and elements of pantomime. These short comic dramas are referred to by historians as stage jigs, dramatic jigs, or Elizabethan jigs.The term, jig, at the same time maintained its common definition, which refers to a type of dance or music. In the various primary sources the term appears with a number of different spellings: jigg, jigge, gig, gigg, gigge, gigue, jigue, jeg, jegg, and jygge. (en)
