The Essence of Creative Theatre: The eternal conflict between tragedy of life and freedom will

article focuses on the importance of theatre by exhibiting the meaningful relations between the theatre as a pure form of art and a conscious and creative society. Although such relations may have been grown organically from the needs of the society at first, throughout history, they have been discovered, analyzed, and developed by various scholars and philosophers. In another historic view, one can realize how the appearance of several different yet relatively similar “commercialized art forms”—or one may call it entertainment models—seem to move theatre into a precarious situation within the society. After tracing the differences between various performance forms which are all perceived as “Theater” I will discuss the causes of such diversity and deviation. In the search for the roots of theatre, this article will define tragedy as a representative of the interplay between traditionalism and modernism while reflecting on how tragedy stands against essentialism and rejects the existing hierarchical system within the society through challenging its values. Inside our encounter with theatre, we as humans are positioned in a contrasting world that includes two sides, one is dead and the other one is unable to be born, and theater is the conflict between these two organic energies. It is the tension between creativity and regulations, liberty and barring liberty, dream, and prohibiting dream. Just like magic which is a revolt against the holy, theatre is a revolt against the dominant system, which works as a permanent revolution that constantly destroys and reconstitutes structures and forms. Moreover, it is similar to the people’s real issue with “musts” and regulations, which are against freedom. Fine arts make the world talk more directly to us. We observe the world in the way that arts teach us, and finally, nature will turn to art as the human turns to be the people that dramatists have in their minds. This is why awareness of such issues is not only crucial for the artists but also for anybody who seeks peace for the society, which can help to improve theatre in order for it to play its effective and expected role.
