Literary notes about Troupe (AI summary)
In literature, the word “troupe” is used to denote a collective bound by a common pursuit, most often in the realm of performance. Authors employ it to describe groups of actors and entertainers who travel and perform together, as seen with spirited theatrical companies [1, 2, 3]. The term also stretches to include ensembles in unconventional settings—ranging from military detachments and wandering bands to even groups of animals and acrobats [4, 5, 6]—thereby evoking a sense of unity and coordinated purpose. This versatile usage enriches narratives by emphasizing collective identity and the dynamic energy of groups working in harmony [7, 8, 9].
