Popis:	This paper proposes a first approach to a late 16th century unpublished religious play entitled "Auto de la cena a lo divino". Silence as a communication strategy used by the anonymous author is the focus of this research. The first part analyzes how the author uses the lack of words in order to create a ritual and celebratory atmosphere which links this play with the liturgy. The second part outlines some general theatrical strategies concerning silence, which are proved to be inefficient as far as dramatic tension is concerned. Nevertheless, they do achieve complicity between action and virtual audience.
