“Welcome to the Theatre.
Where everything is fake but nothing is false”
Theatre is a unique form of art and expression which has accompanied the humankind since the first manifestations of civilization until present days. We are here to share this amazing story,looking forward to seeing its further evolutions. Enjoy the show!
Unusual Theater is an issue dedicated to the various experiments that recent history has brought to dramaturgical art, resulting in typologies, designs, structures and meanings almost in their own right. The last two centuries have seen directors of all kinds, from some trying to show the true roots of the theater, to the complex and futuristic sets and stories of the early Bolshevik theater to the first attempts to create a virtual dramaturgy of the present day. The task of this issue is to give readers a small example of how an emblematically ancient art actually has all the means to survive even humanity itself in the most unusual ways possible.
Living the Stage comes as the second monthly issue of the Meta Theatre Magazine, and it is explicitly devoted to all those people who live on the stage and keep the theatre alive. In this issue are presented articles dealing with every-day life of actors and performers, but it also brings to public attention some forgotten stories of people and theatre-related experiences they lived. Moreover, Living the Stage is also aimed at analysing collective experiences of performers in the context of original projects they gave life to. Occasionally, for analytical purposes, more technical articles are included, in order to give a statistical insight on some particular performers-related matters.
Auditorium’ s sound is a particular issue of the Metateatre Magazine related to the universe of music in general and its various intersections with the world of stage. From a pure mathematical and engineering point of view, how the sound and the vibration is articulated to improve and develop best audio quality on the stage. Furthermore a particular attention was given to our target readers, the aim of this section is to give them real problem solving tips during the period of audition, while aiming at enhancing the public awareness of the strict correlation between music ,instrument, body and mind. Furthermore, a little historical section was given in order to give a multi-disciplinary approach of such boarder aspects that music covers.
This was a year that is probably going to be remembered in the future for the many historical, sometimes odd, other times expected and unavoidable, events that seemed to be so clustered in only a few months. The pandemic will be probably a semantic reference for all the generations of all nations alive at the moment, and it will obviously affect their own culture: our question is how. This issue tries to start answering this question that only time will by showing some of the innovations and ideas that both the pandemic and the rest of 2020's events brought to the Theatre.
