This week presents cinematic and audio-visual clips of the most
important junctures in the history of world theatre, from Greek Civilisation to
Samuel Beckett and including William Shakespeare and Eugene O'Neill. Theatre has always been a rich subject matter
for the ‘new’ art form of cinema. A
fresh and problematic relationship has arisen between the two. Theatre has tested cinema’s realism, and
cinema has sometimes challenged theatrical stylisation. Damascus’ audiences of cinema and theatre,
meeting as they will do with these films, will have ample opportunity for
dialogue and discussion every day, joined by specialists of theatre and film.
