Theatre has survived thanks to its mobility and potential to exchange creative ideas. Since its inception, it has been open to the circulation of different practices, approaches, and conscious action. It is a platform for communication – an exchange of ideas, or partnership if you will. However, the clear identities and cultural roots of individuals do not lose their significance, because theatre cultures meet, collide, and ultimately interact.
Theorist and philosopher Roland Barthes wrote in his 1963 critical essay that theatre is a kind of cybernetic machine. In its idle state, the machine is hidden behind a curtain. But as soon as it opens, it begins to send you a series of messages. Just like paintings, literature, cinema, and pop music, theatre can broadcast ideology, style, quality, standards of living, values (including national ones), and the mentality of a nation. It can demonstrate creative potential, and the ability to generate ideas and technologies, including the potential creative power of a nation.
In the midst of the current pandemic, theatre and other performing arts are undergoing a period of crisis. But crisis contains two components: danger and opportunity. The danger is talked about more often, which is normal because a person is prone to negative thinking, as the theatre is to dramatization. The initial period of “theatre on the verge of a nervous breakdown” has largely been overcome, and many theatres have found a way to adapt to new circumstances – once again proving the vitality and amazing energy of this art form. The theatre is separated from its audience, orphaned for a while, but quickly began to use digital technologies and streaming tools.
