Today is March 27th and if you didn’t know it, it’s world-day theatre. Created in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute, Theatre
many events are organised by artists and institutes from around the world to celebrate this day. And the main activity of the day is the “international message”. Every year, an important personality is called upon to share his thoughts on the field of theatre and on international harmony. This message is translated into more than 50 languages for thousands of viewers and exhibited in many international newspapers.
What a wonderful activity the theatre! It goes back to ancient Greece, known for its tragedies and comedies. The Greek representations were of sacred origin, as they were related to the worship of Dionysus, god of the pleasure of the festivities. Among the Romans, Bacchus was honoured and the performances were made politically during the famous Roman Games or important ceremonies. Although the Roman pieces there is a more important décor than among the Greeks, the scene remains relatively empty leaving room only for the actors, who at the time were only men and who all wear a mask.
As the theatre moves in France to the Middle Ages with street shows and comedies. We will see the birth of the French tragedy, the French comedy or the classicism that will introduce very strict rules in the theatre. Of which the top three:
–The rule of propriety: no violent or shocking action on stage
–The rule of plausibility: the characters must be credible and the logic of the situation must be respected
–The rule of the three units: “That in one place, in one day, a single fait accompli holds until the end the theatre filled. »
Today the theatre no longer follow these rules and this name has spread to many fields of activity. We no longer necessarily play in theatres, but also in the street and contemporary theatre knows an increasingly fine border with other artistic activities such as dance or circus.
