Abstract

Contemporary Animation Theater: Devising Method and Audience’s Role in a Performance

With Brecht emerges epic theatre, which means a review of theatre’s functions and mechanisms, towards creating a complex picture of the world through different means of expression, contributing, along with the theatre of absurd’s new avant-garde and H. Müller’s disintegration of texts, to the formation of a new aesthetic.
The idea of ‘Character’ disappears and the concept of ‘Performer’ takes place, which is rather a vehicle of discourse, submitted to the dynamic elements; the actor is part of a collective process, in a constant connection with the audience. The relationship drama theatre-puppet theatre becomes stronger, more powerful in mutual influences.
Animation Theatre is based both on visual and collective components; pure psychology studies concerning the elements with great impact on communication can be supported by the animation theatre performance-audience relationship, as well; the audience, by ‘receiving’ and accepting scenic space as a space of reality he’s being part of, wherein the action has no other time of existence than the present moment, wherein the actor is not a character but a partner that addresses to his physical reality, the audience is exposed to strong sensory effects, wherein the theatre, from an emotion generator, becomes a personal experience.
