Objective Theatre

Objective Theatre refers to a style of performance that emphasizes realism and authenticity, focusing on portraying characters and situations as they are, without embellishment or melodrama. This approach seeks to reflect real life, encouraging audiences to engage with the emotional truths of the characters' experiences. It often uses naturalistic dialogue, relatable settings, and a straightforward storytelling technique. Objective Theatre aims to provoke thought and reflection, inviting viewers to analyze the human condition and societal issues, rather than simply entertaining them. This movement is part of a broader trend in 20th-century theatre that values authenticity and emotional honesty in performances.
