Theatre
Theatre is not about suspending our disbelief, but engaging with our beliefs. It is not an escape into fantasy, it is a journey into reality. Theatre is the mirror of exaggeration held up to help us notice things about ourselves. To dramatise does not mean to mimic, but to make a point through emphasis. Hyperbole is the lens through which theatre clarifies the world. By making the script larger than life, theatre leaves us in no doubt about its messages. Theatre not only entertains, but also instructs. By shining the spotlight on the shadow parts of ourselves and the hidden recesses of our society, theatre can illuminate, even enlighten.
