أثر التغيرات المجتمعية على الصورة المرئية في المسرح المصري المعاصر

This research explores the profound influence of society on theater, particularly within the context of Egyptian theater. Theater acts as a mirror, reflecting the positives and negatives of society, while also serving as a powerful medium for social change through its visual and auditory expression of human thoughts, philosophies, and social issues. The study aims to trace the history of Egyptian theater by analyzing three distinct performances, each addressing significant societal themes. These performances illustrate different theatrical trends, including political, economic, and social theater, and highlight theater's role as an educational tool for societal advancement. The research examines styles ranging from simple plays that depict the life of the average Egyptian, such as "Strangers Do Not Drink Coffee," to more complex performances blending history with imagination, such as "I'm Dreaming, O Egypt," and those rooted in Arab historical heritage, like "There Is No Counting the Tricks Up Your Sleeve." The study underscores the importance of preserving the educational value of theater amidst societal changes to ensure its continued impact on Egyptian society.
