As a form of art based on live performance, theatre has managed to maintain its existence by undergoing change and transformation throughout history from rituals to the present day. As a witness and narrator of history, the art of theatre has encountered wars, disasters, crises, earthquakes, societal transformations, and pandemics; yet, it has always managed to pull love, hope, love, peace and justice out of its hat.
From primitive tribal societies to the present day, debates have been conducted on the tradition and future of theatre. In the tradition of theatre, there is the idea of telling a story to the audience with the principle of being present and current, while its future is characterised by the idea of always adapting to the new. From the Anthropocene era to the present day, the survival of theatre has depended on its capacity to keep up with ages as a dynamic art. From the cave to the site states, from the baroque stage to the digital stage, theatre has been able to preserve its existence in an avant-garde way with its dynamic structure. That is why we always say EXIST, theatre!
Since the art of theatre can adapt to changes due to its dynamic performative structure, it has has been a subject of curiosity for philosophers, artists, politicians and scientists throughout the ages. The theories, play texts, playwrights, actors, directors, stage designers, etc., emerging throughout history have been active subjects to present the cyclical temporality of theatre between tradition and future. From Poetics to Ars Poetics, from Paradox of the Actor to The Invisible Actor, from Thetre of Cruelty to Theatre of the Poor, from post-dramatic to digital theatre, the way theatre relates to the audience and society has been the subject of many books.
If there were no theatre, would there have been masters who could better depict the transformations in everyday life than Aristophanes, Molière, Shakespeare, Hagop Vartovyan, Brecht, Beckett, Haldun Taner, Tennessee Williams, Sarah Kane? If there were no theatre, would we be able to applaud our favorite actors of today on stage? Therefore, understanding the transformations of theatre from tradition to future is, in a sense, understanding the world and human beings.
