No one knows for sure when theatrical art appeared. It was relevant and was an indicator of high culture at almost all times. What is the value of theatrical art? Why does it not lose its popularity today?
The theater is famous for its unique fabulous atmosphere. This is a complex art, because it is collective. For theatrical production, a harmonious interaction of many details is necessary. This is the scenery, and the game of the actors, and the script itself.
Theater art is truly unique even in our modern age, rich in a variety of entertainment. What is its main difference from other types of cultural recreation? The theater does not separate the actor from the viewer. This is certainly a living art. The audience and the actors during the production are almost one. This is the special charm of the theater.
The viewer sees with his own eyes how the actor is getting used to the role. The public, it can be said, has a unique opportunity to see the creation process. The actor, as a true artist, creates the necessary image, and all this is here and now, right in front of an admiring viewer.
Unlike most other types of art, the theater does not make outside observers out of its public. In any production, not only the play of the actors is important, but also the reaction of the audience. Theater art, as it were, makes the public feel that it is also an inseparable part of himself. It is difficult to imagine a production without admiring applause, or, on the contrary, indifferent silence.
Some ancient thinkers went even further in the thought of uniting the viewer and the actor. Previously, there was an idea according to which a person who comes to a performance, seeing on the stage a concentrated expression of all powerful emotions, experiences a kind of catharsis. That is, the viewer identifies with the actor and feels the release of all his repressed feelings. That is, there was a time when it was believed that theatrical art not only delivers aesthetic pleasure, but also is a kind of medicine for the soul. And now you can find a lot of truth in this theory.
If we mention the theater, almost everyone will imagine the usual production. However, there are other varieties of this art. First of all, it is an opera. What it is? Opera is a peculiar and unique performance in which actors express their emotions through singing rather than through words. In addition, this genre cannot exist without brilliant music. Opera, in contrast to conventional theater productions, is more poetic. It acts not on the rational and logical level of human consciousness, but directly on emotions and intuition. This type of theatrical art should be perceived not by thinking, but by feelings. Maybe this is why not everyone likes such a genre as opera, it has both opponents and admired fans.
What other types of theatrical art exist? Of course, one cannot ignore ballet here. This is a doubly unique art form. Here, all feelings are expressed not only through music, but also through dance. This is the unique magic and appeal of ballet. Any great work can be expressed through dance. However, when attending a ballet, the viewer is required to be extremely focused and involved. The public must be extremely receptive in order to be able to "read" the message that is contained in each movement.
Undoubtedly, the art of the theater will enjoy the great love of people even after a while. This is truly a cultural holiday in its highest manifestation, which not only fills the viewer with new emotions, but also serves educational, entertaining and even educational purposes.
