Theatrical Realism

Theatrical realism is a style of performance that strives to represent everyday life accurately on stage. It focuses on believable characters, realistic dialogue, and relatable situations, avoiding exaggerated or stylized elements common in other theatrical forms. This approach aims to create a truthful reflection of human experiences and social issues, often drawing from real-life events or social dynamics. By using realistic sets, costumes, and acting techniques, theatrical realism seeks to engage the audience emotionally, encouraging them to connect with the characters and their struggles. It emerged prominently in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
