I think that it is so important to look at theatre in a different way. My biggest gripe with theatre sometimes is that it is too traditional as it is groundbreaking. Despite the pandemic being pretty detrimental to many productions around the world, it also gave reason for people to create something brand new. I admire these artists for taking up such a task, because I was in a similar situation during the pandemic as well. They are forced to truly think outside the box, as they are limited within the confines of a computer screen and health regulations. However, I believe that art exists in order to tell a story of the world around us, and even though the height of the pandemic was only about a year and a half, so many things happened that art must come out of it. I liked the bit where the article questioned the identity of theatre and its place in the “fabric of the community”. I think these are important questions to ask when moving forward from the pandemic and moving towards a greater future.
