Taking A Look At Phoenix Plays

By Ida Dorsey


The classic dramatic works were not intended for publication, but only to representation; it follows that the key principle of classical theater was the pure representability of stories. There are no original manuscripts actually, since the content was continuously varied and modified (in case of actors, which eliminated or changed verses and often replace them with your own). There are no captions, except those implied or reproduced in ages posthumously as marginal notes: these are those really the captions "scenic", evoked by the word (Phoenix plays).

The current scholarly and secular seek to perpetuate as much as possible the worship of ancient literature; between its forms are the "mime-friendly patrician" and "elegiac comedy, " both written in Latin and invoice more literary than dramatic (in fact were read in small circles).

In a broad sense is a storyline and made for the stage performance. It can be verbal text (every piece of literature that includes parts recited or sung), or improvised by an actor, or in form of non-verbal narration, through gestures or dance. The period drama, if understood strictly, applies only to plays written. In opera, it usually occurs at the end of booklet.

The origins of later back to antiquity. Greek tragedies played in religious rites in honor of god Dionysus. These ancient themes are included in sixteenth century by the first playwrights as Garnier or Jodelle, and in seventeenth century by authors such as Corneille, who began by writing baroque comedy and tragicomedy, as Le Cid. But gradually imposed in name of verisimilitude, respect for rules specific to classical theater: the rule of decency and the rule of three units.

The liturgical drama, as opposed to classical one, does not adopt the criterion of three Aristotelian unities and is expressed in better shape pictorial representation. If the classical drama staged one done in a linear and in one place, the drama follows the medieval against the hero in all of its age: it is represented, for example, the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, but throughout the life of protagonist. Necessarily the scene becomes multiple, created by different scenes aligned and separated from each other by a compartment: the so-called "appointed places."

The concept of drama and drama is related more to a dialogue not a monologue or a poem (although it could be etymologically related to any form of literature devoted to scene). It is the presence oft least one other actor in dialogue that can better express the main feature of drama: the contrast between at least two different elements. Bernard Shaw, introducing his first volume of plays, says: "There is no play without conflict." A conflict can also occur in a lightweight text, and is its backbone.

They are representations of an occasional nature, consisting of pseudo-ecclesiastical procession led by a boy dressed as a bishop; The procession from the church up to episcopate, in which the clergy and / or the true bishop blessed are fit and ridiculous parody. The bourgeois drama is a theatrical composition representing the characters of small and middle-class or wealthy classes citizens but do not belong to nobility, and describes his daily life, the trials and tribulations, aspirations. It developed in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Theatre, sometimes drama or spectacle, is a type of performing art, which aims to act, talk, produce or display stories, ideas or feelings to an audience. This is usually done through dialogue, namely speech and gestures between the different characters, played, or acted by actors. They must be able to express alternative personalities, ages, voices, sex, and body postures.
