The future of the theatre

The beginning of the theatre started at the Greek period. The plays were destined to the public in general, the thematic was religious with the finality of showing to all the people the life of the divinities and how they had to life and brave to the problems; so all the people had to know it. The plays were represented with the presence of a statue of “Dionisio” situated in the middle of the scenery, Dionisio was the divinity of the theatre; other characteristic is that at the beginning there were only one actor that had to represent all of the characters of the play, but with the pass of the time they introduce more actors so the plays change also their format and introduce more characters.(1)

With the pass of the years the theatre were addressed to different people and with different thematic. The politics were the main thematic for many years. Was the way that the politicians express their ideals and electioneered of his party.

More actually is the finality of entertainment, with this finality the public varies more. If the public are children, adults, teens…

So now the people who go to the theatre want to spend a good time; there are plays to all kind of people, plays about sports, politics, music, fantasy, quotidian life…

But the future of the theatre not only depends of the thematic, also with the public and with the actors. If there are not people capable to represent or to product and financial the plays the public can not choose a play to see, but also if the people loose the tradition of going to the theatre and prefer go to the cinema or to see a football match, the theatre will disappears.

Although I think that this will not happen because actually there are implication with this. The schools make activities as go some times a year to the theatre or to do some representations with the children, so the children since they are little the know what is the theatre. Also with the “Drama schools” that form new actors, as children of five years, people who want to spend their free time doing some activities, or also to people who want to dedicated to this and want to had a future in the theatre.(2)
