anti-theatre

Anti-theatre is a movement that challenges traditional theatrical conventions by breaking the fourth wall, questioning audience expectations, and emphasizing experimental, provocative, or unconventional forms of performance. Instead of aiming for polished narratives or aesthetic perfection, it often seeks to confront viewers with raw, immédiate experiences, blurring the lines between performers and audience. This approach encourages active participation, improvisation, and social or political commentary, highlighting the art’s function as a means of critical engagement rather than just entertainment. Anti-theatre pushes boundaries to explore new ways of expressing ideas and emotions beyond classical theatrical norms.
