National Theatre Festival Reframes Critical Discourse

The seminar held at the National Theatre Council in Egypt discussed the necessity of renewing critical discourse in theatrical criticism to keep pace with technological and social transformations. It emphasized the importance of developing the critic's tools and rethinking personal biases. The participants highlighted how critics should write a parallel text alongside the artistic work, relying on a new language that matches the changes in communication tools and modern technologies. They also stressed that development does not mean abandoning foundational principles but rather crafting tools suitable for the current era to capture audience attention and enhance the impact of criticism on the recipient. The findings indicate that the lack of a supportive cultural environment and the decline in cultural accumulation have led to a deterioration of the critical movement and its communication with the audience. This situation calls for revitalizing the critical dialogue and streamlining its tools to ensure it remains effective and evolving.
