Ta’ziyeh performers are regarded as actors. In order to recognize the dramatic value and considering the strong moral principles of Ta’ziyeh and Brechtian theatre, Western theatre and Ta’ziyeh performance are my case studies. Ta’ziyeh performers are regarded as actors. what are the differences and similarities between the notion of ‘acting’ and ‘performing’ in these two types of performances.
Art of acting it representing a character ....but performance is moving more in what is been liked direction by the audience. Classic Arabic TA'ZIYEH performance art is most famous in Tehran Persia , liked by shi'a population
Dear Peter,
Thank you for responding.
It clears that the principles of Ta'ziyeh to clarify actor in Western theatre does not have any place. On the other hand, Brecht used the term V-Effect which is found in Ta'ziyeh. In this case, distancing effect seems to be closed to Ta'ziyeh, however, it's not.
