In today's fast-paced world, the relevance of art has become an expectation rather than a compliment, particularly for theater. This is largely due to its intimate nature, which allows for a closer connection between the performance and the audience. Mark Harris emphasizes that theater is not just a form of entertainment but a medium expected to address the political and cultural zeitgeist, offering a necessary comment on society's issues. Despite its exclusivity, theater has a broader and lasting impact that makes its political nature undeniable.
In an era of vanishing cultural authority, art is expected to respond to political and cultural moments, with theater standing out for its intimacy and immediacy.
Theater's relative exclusivity actually enhances its cultural reach, as its resonance in society is deeper and more lasting compared to mass entertainment.
