The Spectator, the theatrical audience, is most of the time, sometimes it is
a great victim of bad theater and sometimes the great winner of good
Our theater. The viewer is the receiver, good or bad, it does not matter.
For him we broadcast, for him we work, for him we live. Maybe because theater
without a writer there can be, theater without actors can
to exist. But theater without… spectators is not possible…
And we should be happy that, for many years, the
Greek theatrical audience multiplies, sees a lot of theater, wants to
sees good theater. If we exclude, of course, the latter, with the memoranda
and the epidemic ..
There are many types of audiences. The audience that sees all kinds of theater
because he likes to see theater .. The audience that chooses and knows how to
chooses the work and the show he wants to see. And the public that
does not go because he does not have money or has a lot and does not go because he is
full or why the theater snorts, believing it is "a little" for
his own "high" training ..
Our enthusiasm is mitigated of course when the large audience, that
consists of those who are in dire need of good theater, that
the audience, does not come to the theater or comes rarely. Chased by
expensive ticket and its limited time and the bad or the
our incomprehensible works ..
Maybe the salty price of the ticket is justified, when you think about it
one the high cost of theatrical extensions. But the responsibility is great
to present works for the few and "elite" and works
"Digestive" for the "mass". The audience is a big kid. With important
plays, comedy or drama, will follow us, slowly but surely
Definitely όμως But when the audience finds out that you're kidding, the
you despise and take advantage of it, it will despise you too.
The responsibility of the large theatrical audience is also great. Many times the wide
audience, without thinking about it, fills many theaters from day one. No
knowing very well what he will see but influenced by irresponsible news and
"Backstage" television material. Clean brainwashing…
Fortunately there is still a large percentage who go to the theater after
first be properly informed or informed by some of his own who saw it
work. He does not trust and does not pay easily, ticket if not
make sure. However, he constantly attends many theaters, appreciating her
their constant and consistent dedication to important work and performance
of "we" and not of "I" and, above all, in their respect for
spectator.
The insistence of many theatrical actors that they do us great harm
"Light" shows, TV and football, are a big mistake. All
needed in life. The damage is .. us .. With our bad works, theirs
our quarrels and the provocative lives of a few celebrities who offend,
unfortunately, the whole of our Theater ..
When in our interviews we talk about "cultivated" and "uncultured"
audience… When, for commercial reasons, we present on stage vulgar,
supposedly “realistic” exaggerations, justifying the unjustified ones
profanity as an image of life ..
The last word, he has Dario Fo. Let the Author o
Actor and the Spectator:
"Genuine theater is the theater that brings the spectator to the stage ..
A real actor is the one who "goes down" in the square, "feeling"
and living the reactions of the viewer. A true spectator is the one who
He "goes up" on stage and lives, together with the Actor, what is happening
in the tent.."
Υ.Γ. 1: An event for crying. A real actor is not the one who
states that he likes to live on the margins and, with his "art", to
beautifies those whom the bitter life has forced to live on the margins. For
the spectator, an example to avoid .. A genuine Actor is the one who them
helps to get out of the fringe and enjoy all that they rejoice
All people. For the viewer, an example to imitate ..
PS2: And a fact for laughter and crying that is not a joke.
In the Jenny Karezi troupe, 1966. A couple eats peanuts in the first
series .. The protagonist on stage, says: "I never eat peanuts
at the theatre.." . Immediately the couple puts the peanuts in their pocket. The same
moment, a guy in the second row, pulls out of his pocket peanuts
and starts eating them ..… !!! The crisis is yours ..
