Théâtre romantique

Théâtre romantique, or Romantic theater, was a cultural movement in the early 19th century emphasizing emotion, individuality, and imagination. It aimed to explore deep human feelings, dramatic passion, and the supernatural, often contrasting with the order and reason valued during the Enlightenment. This style featured more expressive acting, vivid language, and dramatic plots, emphasizing personal experiences and nature. It encouraged writers and artists to break traditional rules, creating more imaginative and emotionally resonant works. Overall, Théâtre romantique sought to evoke strong emotional responses and celebrate human creativity and the complexities of the human spirit.
