“Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.” (Augusto Boa, 1992). The Greek Theater is a theatrical tradition that flourished in ancient Greece between the years 600 and 200 B.C. The idea of acting and singing on a stage was introduced in the festivals where Greeks worshiped Dionysus, the god of wine and grape cultivation, with performances to have satisfactory harvests throughout the year. These acts were performed in a theater that consisted of three parts; a stage called orchestra, a background stage that was decorated called skene, and the theatre where the audience was sitting. Theaters turned out to be a method by which actors could express their feelings or artistically tell a story. Moreover, theaters had an educational purpose, in which the audience learned from the stories that were performed. As the audience listened and observed, they were acquiring gestures, knowledge, and vocabulary from the high-class people.
The theater was a mirror that reflected Greek society. It was ethical to assist, it was considered rude not attend to the festivals. In addition, they were observing tragedies, plays that show sorrow and pain, that happened every day, from an unrequited love to an unwanted war. Ancient Greeks treasured the power of word-to-word since it was their primary method of communication and storytelling. Therefore, it was primordial to obtain as much information as possible from the acts as for many spectators, it was the only way to learn.
A movie in which I saw a character transformation was How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). The film tells the story of the Grinch, a hairy green fur creature that has a smile from ear to ear. Exiled from Whoville, he has been living in a cave on top of the mountain with his loyal and only friend, his dog Max. Bad experiences with other children when he was just a child made him escape. This led to his isolation which later caused a thirst for revenge and an uncontrollable hate for Christmas.
The main character, the Grinch, suffers many transformations. When he was a baby, he was picked up by two lovely old ladies, the Grinch would have wanted to have a normal childhood and education, make friends, and fool around with the adorable Martha. But the other children behaved so badly with him that they pushed him into exile. That was how the Grinch became a grumpy hermit and a cruel joker who hates Christmas and everything that has to do with it. After many years passed, a little girl called Cindy Lou wants to know more about that creature that everyone considers a monster. She meets the Grinch in the postal office where her dad works, where of fright she falls to a recycler, but the Grinch with the insistence of Max saves her, showing her that he is not as bad as the people in Whoville say. Therefore, Cindy postulates the Grinch as the master of ceremony for Christmas and she goes to the top of the mountain to invite him to the ceremony. But, his hopes of being appointed master of ceremonies are spoiled by the mayor’s fault, and the Grinch returns to his lair, determined to take revenge. He dresses as Santa Claus to steal all the presents in the Whoville, but the people come together, and they understand the very purpose of Christmas, leaving the presents behind. To the Grinch to see that this did not affect the villagers causes him sadness. Until, Cindy finds the Grinch and he understands that what he did was wrong, and they give the presents back to the town, ending in a happy ending.
His transformations impacted me since he was misunderstood and had no one to rely on, that is why he became “bad” in the first place, due to the bullying that he suffered from his schoolmates as a child, in particular by whom the major of Whoville when they were little. This led to his exile to the top of the mountain. This made me reflect on how many people take the wrong path or they turned around because they need someone, to guide them, to protect them, or simply someone to hug them and tell them they will be okay.
Furthermore, when Cindy invites him to the ceremony, the Grinch is nervous to go, but he is happy that he will not have to hide to go to the city, and also, he will be able to see Martha, the love of his life. But the major played with his mind triggering the bad memories he had as a child. This unleashes the fury of the Grinch, who starts destroying the village and plans his revenge, to destroy completely Christmas. He dresses up Santa Claus, builds a sled, disguises his reindeer dog, and goes from house to house with a huge empty sack to steal all the presents, trees, sweets, and turkeys and thus ruin the inhabitants of Whoville on Christmas morning. But it will soon discover that the Christmas spirit is more than just toys, songs, parades, and other presents. Leaving the last moral of the movie, that Christmas is not about presents, it is more than that. It is about union, family, and friends.
