I so wish that my town, peck the entire nation I reside in had that compassion and love for theatre as it did fifty odd years ago. Nowadays people scoff at even the sight of highschool drama clubs and theatrical clubs. Guess the only saving grace is that there is one and that there's a movie theatre still standing which is only supported by mainstream films that attracts crowds regardless. Jesus Belizus.
Onto the post proper, let's talk about the history of the place. I love history in general, it just gives a perspective that things weren't always what they used to be and could be improved or diminished if given enough force to go a certain direction. This is no different and I love how the history of the town at least managed to keep something as this still alive and actually creative. (To forcefully relate this back to my experiences, I am grateful that when I had seen theatre performed in my highschool days that it was creative. Can't know for sure but will assume the creativity is still there in spite of declining popularity.) Also liked how it went from a political organ to a theatrical place, gives perspective to culture and politics which often gets ignored.
Second, let's talk about images since they look sharp, crisp, clear and full of detail. I like how I can see all the scenes of the theatre, in and out of performance. Also the fact it is so clear that I can actually tell what I am seeing and I feel like I can reach out to them. (Or seemingly be there, like staring at windows/portals to other places.) Also every picture that was taken (with or without excluding key scenes) just helps visualize the actual performance. On unto that, I must give bravo to actually act out the characters in the play and be purposefully still human-looking people. Just shows how people can easily find ways to reinterpret/replay a thing over and over again, that creativity definitely has a visually material form even when it doesn't exist as of yet but later. Just goes to show, once again, that theatre is that comfy medium for creativity to explode as well.
Lastly, all the text that is provided here makes me feel so whole inside to actually have the scenes depicted actually explained so I can actually understand the fotos (photos) better. Especially when we both connect at the end with "[t]he performance, deeply felt, provoked a response." Even if we split in the middle on the actual meaning (barring the Death of the Author ideology as correct philosophy - which I hate that ideology by the way), it still had gravitas to provoke us to type. Regardless, I like how the text is not jutting out and the sentences are readable that I don't have to debate (lest I misread something accidentally) the entire meaning of a single section. So yeah :^D
@theironfelix, thank you very much for your attention to my post. I am happy that there are people who share the love of the theater. I am pleased that in our city not only the older generation, but also the youth attend theaters.
Welcome for the comment!~ ^^
Yeah, that's very nice to hear and see all about that as well.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences!~
