Theatralitat[]
Un theatre piece est un texte, ex prose au stiches, quod bahnt jahar actors ep un scene. Sei theatre ghehdt albatta bihe list "in un foteuyl", dehlct bihe kyunggiawen, con id majoritat im dramaturgs, od un piece est bestohmen ad bihe skaun : sontghi sesi, objects, swons skaun uni public, in tid-on ed loc-on.
Theatre enpresencet dwo locs : id scene ed id kielken. Opsst-ye, id kielken est mers in temos; id scene est sub ia flottluces. Id kielken est silent; id scene behemt ia werds ed gestes im actors. Id public se manifestet med sien Gleimen au dakrus, ed med sien applaus au obsweihmen ye id fin ios skau. Inter ta dwo locs exist un "ideal mur", holghi tyehct kamsei i persons ep scene ignorient od leuds sont present kay smauter ed klustres i.
El autor uns piece ne est tik el scriptor quel hat redact id texte : leit de un collective creation, participen ab un regisseur, actors ed un swoin em muhandis. Idschi public, collective prispehcer, smyehrt tod creation : L.Jouvet (1887-1951) kohns, pos un skau, kweter id public hieb esen "gohd" au ne.

Id mund os theatre : imitation au autonomia ?[]
Aristoteles (384-322 pre JC) dinght, in sien Περὶ ποιητικῆς, id akmenspetra os Occidental theatre : id notion μίμησις ("imitation"). Theatre imitet id mund, in id sense od presentet ia tragic au comic situations in qua el mensc biht confronten ibs megil questions os sien condition (ei iser, ei politic, ibs passions, ei desire, ad eakia ed virtut...). Theatre ne reproduct servile-ye ia objective data ios mund, mayneiht ia med un "Esthetique os illusion".
Theatre se daht ka un "specule ios mund" ed, ab Renaissance, theatral rolagen biht tadrijan ludhern ex improvisation kay bihe submitten uni texte, ex stiches au prose.

Ye id XVIIIt secule, id ambition im autors est enscene id burgese mund, besonters per Drames : theatre exploret id psychologia im Individus au social types ghyanend id via ibs trivialer ed meis futil boulevardesk comedias.
Quo est kalen id "crise os theatre" tarikhet ex id fin ios XIXt secule : id apparition al regisseur taraght id theatral praxis. I actors neti sont recitants ni cabotins qui seni siswehrnt ir dialogsa : eucent comage ed construge persons ed uno net om relations. A.Antoine men (1858-1943) leudhert id scene ex ia schnurs os μίμησις kay invente un sensewent loc (neud iom decors, music, beleucens, sceneagens...), E.E. Craig de (1872-1966) proclamet id autonomia ios scene, ed secskwt id diemen con exter realitat. Id scene impont sien universe : un bare plor, un kowp dieken, un ballett om behangs creent un loco quod ne kaurt de reproduce un referencial realitat, sontern quod behemt radical-ye als i persons.
