Realism in Theater

Realism in theater is a movement focused on portraying everyday life and authentic human experiences accurately and genuinely on stage. It emphasizes believable dialogue, relatable characters, and realistic settings, aiming to reflect society without idealization or exaggeration. The goal is to create productions that feel true to life, encouraging the audience to see their own world and challenges mirrored in the story. Originating in the late 19th century, realism aims for a natural presentation that fosters emotional connection and understanding between performers and spectators.
