The Value of Theatre
Theatre was born in Greece, but before its origin other theatrical manifestations already existed in the world such as: dances, ballet, prehistoric mimics, and tribes, among others; that were and are still part of scenic art. Theatre is a way to express satisfaction, joy, have fun and eliminate stress. Nowadays, the main capital of huge theatres is BROADWAY, which is in NewYork City, the American theatre industry.

Not too far away from Broadway, in Latin America, the most recognized theatrical countries are Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Cuba, and Chile. Latin American theatre wasinfluenced by Spanish theatre from long ago. People with culture know the truth, reality and how this art works. Thanks to theatre, technology has been improving and now we have another way to enjoy the art of acting:“film”, but theatre has also evolved by technology and new methods. That is why film has taken its place and become more popular, but theatre cannot be left behind. The art ofacting began at theatres; it helps us to express ourselves, and develops lack of inhibition. We should rescue theatre industry because it is more real and concrete; it is spontaneous, and it is related to our culture.

Theatre and film are considered a very artistic way to express reality. Revaluing theatre will help appreciate art a little bit more, introducing people back to theatre, and enjoying the real acting.The second reason that supports theatre more than film is because of its creativity; it involves better communication and uses a lot of expressions. Being spontaneous is the basic format of acting PICTURE 3. What is the truth according to theatre? Time and space, producing and acting, the reality of characters, lightning and sound.CHART 1.
