Who is a "corpse"?
A corpse is an actor who disrupts a scene by breaking character, usually due to laughing uncontrollably or forgetting their lines. This interruption often causes the performance to momentarily stop, as the actor struggles to regain composure or recall their lines. The term highlights the difficulty of maintaining the illusion of the performance and can add an element of unpredictability to live theater.
