Different Types of Theatres

Theatre plays are presented to people in various ways while being written and performed on stage due to the differences in their themes. The authors use various writing techniques to describe a play based on its theme. While some of them describe the events in simple terms, others express them through extraordinary and unreal beings.

Naturalist Theatre writers have written realistic plays. Such theatres must be displayed on stage in a very ostentatious, remarkable, and theatrical manner. Miss Julia is an example of Naturalist Theatre, and this work does not include extraordinary beings or extraordinary conversations. Strindberg's Miss Julia naturally and realistically expressed the conditions of the time, as well as the cultural differences between the nobility and the commoners.

Marxism has an impact on Epic Theatre. Brecht contributed significant works in this genre. People can gain a more critical perspective on life and the stage by participating in epic theatre. And the audience remains outside the game's stage. They are simply bystanders and can easily criticize the play in either a positive or negative light. When Brecht said, "This is a theatre stage, and you are the audience," he kept the audience out of the play. Because epic theatre is influential in socialism, the author writes plays for political purposes. There is a widespread misconception that this type of theatre will only present heroic and epic themes. However, the goal of epic theatre is to expose society's political, and political problems, and social dissolutions.

The writers base their play on historical events and stories, but they approach it realistically. The audience can gain an ideological perspective by learning and watching this type of theatre, which is used to create propaganda from the perspective of a complete observer. The goal, as in classical theatre, is not to immerse the audience in the play. Instead of being sad, happy, or in pain in the face of the events, the audience begins to consider their place in society. The goal is to place certain ideas in the minds of the audience, causing them to think. It is not intended to alter their emotions.

The play is set up in the documentary theatre by scanning pre-existing physical or digital documents. The play, for example, is based on newspaper articles, various letters, correspondence, government reports, or interviews. Because existing resources are used, the events may be real and experienced by specific individuals. These plays may contain biographical or autobiographical elements at times. It is a kind of theatre of the truth, but what exists is the lived reality. While near-real events can be written in naturalist theatre, events that occurred in documentary theatre can be told precisely.

 As in other genres, there is no realism in Theatre of the Absurd. Movements, words, and events that make no sense to the average person are included. In this type of theatre, the human mind is humiliated in some ways because the audience is sometimes shown random behaviors’ that defy logic. The writing's goals are satire, black humor, and dissonance. Repeated, meaningless words and movements can alter the audience's perception. There are clichéd conversations, but people wonder if these mundane, repetitive conversations serve any purpose. It is revealed through the game's characters that someone who is caught between human life, destiny, and invisible forces loses their logic. It's as if the characters are pondering fate while attributing their negative experiences to divine power and making illogical sentences because they can't explain the life they're attempting to comprehend. It's as if the character is reacting to the way the world works. The relationship between human life, destiny, and invisible forces becomes illogical.

In dance theatre, movement, text, and narrative are all important. Dancing, in addition to written language, is very important. Its goal is to convey emotions and thoughts to the audience through dance. The actor, that is, the dancer, is always thinking about ideas and words, but at that moment, he dances on stage and impresses the audience. It is a physical theatre in which a dance performance is staged.

Visual theatre is a movement-based genre that includes a variety of visual content. Pantomime, various types of dances, masked works, puppetry, and object art are all examples of visual theatre content. For an actor, movement, gesture, and facial expressions are crucial. The audience is given various information through their actions, dances, and movements. While this theatre is on display, various projections and videos can be used. It is possible to use digital content and online resources. Players can use spoken language in a variety of ways. Harmony between music and sound, as well as various signs and movements, are critical for this theatre. Visual language is used to explain the information to the viewer. A game that combines many expressions and communication tools can have an impact on any audience.
