Extract

As a setting for the enactment of important or dramatic events, theatre may be located anywhere. The construction of special auditoria to accommodate aspects of theatre as an art form of re-presentation and re-enactment in no way invalidates the concept of a theatrical drama which unfolds in the imagination or in the arena of everyday life. Music, like theatre, may be inspired by real-life situations, but whereas in modern Western civilization it has taken on a life of its own, and is played in the rarefied isolation of concert halls, theatre, being a more concrete form of representational art, has retained much closer links with the outside world.
