ABSTRACT
"Dramatic art" the theatre we wish to exhibit begins with movement it is above all the art of life, and this life can be expressed, if necessary, without any building or scenic elements, for undefined space and time are adequate for this art. It therefore follows that a comprehensive theatre exhibition should show on the one hand the spaces designed for movement, and on the other, the movement that inspired and shaped those spaces. But movement and space juxtaposed are not yet theatre. Theatre exhibitions are taking on an avant-garde quality, and writers rather than stage directors continue to suffer under the dead weight of a moribund tradition and old habits. The pleasure of theatre impairs the spectators awareness of reality and tends to make him incapable of generous reactions. The response we must make to it and its repercussions in our diverse activities, on our art forms, on our whole existence, will conclude this study.
