Theater. Enrikesh R.

The performance began, and the ancient Greeks are to blame for this. They came up with the majority of words and concepts that we use today to call a spade a spade. You don’t need to go far for an example: “Theatron” means “place for spectacles”, “drama” - “performance, action”. If someone is looking at the performance somewhere, this is the theater. Applause, be kind!

ah, wait... There is something else.

Theater is a type of art that combines many others: literature, music, dance, dance, dance, dance Architecture, painting, photography and even cinema. The theater put tragedies, comedies, satires, farms and other genres that are difficult to somehow name - they do not correspond to any traditional definitions. The theater is both a production on a professional scene, and improvisation on a carpet spread out in the middle of the desert. Whether the theater is illusion or not, but it is the most successful metaphor of the world, because it seems to show man himself. And let's not forget that the theater is that which cannot be expressed in words, but only by actions and symbols. Some entertain us and distract us, others - excite and remain in memory. The theater needs only three participants: actor, character and spectator. But what about others? After the 20th century, after Brecht and numerous crises of identity, humanity is no longer sure of anything. Unless in one thing: the theater is a kind of “chemistry” that arises in one specific place between those who represent something, and those who look at it.
