#WeeklyTask : Week 3 - Theatre and how it communicate.

What is theatre? How do you think theatre, as a media form, communicates messages to its audience?

Theatre, the first thing come across my mind is about ancient Greek and Rome. It is where the theatre culture comes from right? Because there is one game I played, Caesar III, a very old game back in 2000's, shows that the theatre play an important role in developing the society. Maybe because the theatre was meant to deliver messages to the audiences, society right ?

There is variety of theatre, depend on country, and culture. But how does the theatre communicates to the audience? In my opinion, the content of the performance/show is meant to be delivered to the audiences depend on the current situation of that country/society so that the community will be easily influenced by the show and the messages can be greatly delivered.


Or maybe, by performing a very beautiful, great masterpiece of art, the crowd can remembered well the scene, the act, thus applying it on their daily life.
