Taking A Look At Phoenix Plays

By Ida Dorsey


The classic dramatic works were not intended for publication, but only to representation; it follows that the key principle of classical theater was the pure representability of stories. There are no original manuscripts actually, since the content was continuously varied and modified (in case of actors, which eliminated or changed verses and often replace them with your own). There are no captions, except those implied or reproduced in ages posthumously as marginal notes: these are those really the captions "scenic", evoked by the word (Phoenix plays).

Finally, in twentieth century, some authors, such as Jean Anouilh Jean Giraudoux with Antigone or with Electra, show ancient myths. One sees the political theater, in which the authors put their philosophical ideas, as Albert Camus Caligula. Some writers like Ionesco react strongly to this absurd political theater by parts, in which the author depict scenes without apparent meaning to viewer think differently.

However, Alfred de Musset, whose plays have been performed on stage as his late romantic drama baffled theater directors, developed the idea of theater to read under the "show in a wheelchair." Playwright Ionesco has established new rules for the theater in his book Notes and against pad. These are based mainly on the deterioration of language in favor of theater of absurd. Another playwright of twentieth century following the rules of Ionesco is Beckett. The two main types of plays are comedy and tragedy.

A topic can have tragic drama or comedy, depending on the situations. In sense of common use instead, we tend to designate by this term painful events or life problems, or other events of tragic. Play can be represented by different types of media: live entertainment, film and television.

The play are mostly written in verse. We then distinguish two different genres: comedy - as, for example, L'Avare by Moliere, which was inspired by Plautus Aulularia - and tragedy - as, for example, Jean Racine's Phedre, inspired by Euripides . Many tragedies are inspired by mythology. However there are also more baroque genres, such as comedy-ballet or parts to machines.

Finally we have a popular theater, characterized both by the clownish (typical of mimes and farces) and religious. Typical was the "drama mixed", which is distinct from the liturgical drama for contamination of genres and the introduction of first sentences in vernacular. In production of this current are also comedies, there's still a popular pantomime, Dinner Cypriani.

The combination of drama-conflict is often expressed in fields other than strictly theatrical often referred to literary works intended for the stage, talking about their dramatic, or musical works or similarly with the other arts. A classic drama does not have a very precise connotation. Generally usually indicates the dramas of tragic and comic in world greek and latin lived in Athens of fifth century BC Rome until the first century A. D. Depending on the historical period, the classic drama now presents itself as politically / religiously committed and now as a simple fun of upper classes.

Theatre, sometimes drama or spectacle, is a type of performing art, which aims to act, talk, produce or display stories, ideas or feelings to an audience. This is usually done through dialogue, namely speech and gestures between the different characters, played, or acted by actors. They must be able to express alternative personalities, ages, voices, sex, and body postures.
