Postdramatic Theatre

Postdramatic theatre refers to a style of performance that moves beyond traditional storytelling and linear narratives. Instead of focusing on character-driven plots, it emphasizes experiences, emotions, and concepts. This form often blurs the lines between fiction and reality, using multimedia, non-linear structures, and audience interaction to create a more immersive and fragmented experience. It challenges conventional ideas about what theatre is meant to be, encouraging spectators to engage actively with the performance rather than passively consuming a story. This approach redefines the role of actors, texts, and the audience in the theatrical experience.
