Expressionist Theatre
Expressionist Theatre is a style of drama that emphasizes the emotional and psychological experiences of characters over realistic representation. It often uses distorted sets, lighting, and exaggerated acting to convey a sense of heightened emotion and tension. Themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the breakdown of society are common in Expressionist Theatre, which seeks to evoke strong emotional responses from the audience. This style of theatre emerged in Europe in the early 20th century as a reaction against the naturalistic conventions of traditional drama.
