Sažetak
The role of the audience in the theatre dramatically changed from equal participants in periods of ritual theatre (Classicism, Middle Ages) to the so-called “imitating” periods (Renaissance and Neoclassicism) where audience needed specialized knowledge to watch a play. The twentieth century deepened the gap between mainstream theatre and audience completely. Since directors'/ post dramatic theatre, which is for the most part violent, shocking and non-communicative, started dominating the mainstream theatre, audience started protesting. Mainstream theatre and theory reacted promptly and declared audience incompetent calling them “backward, uneducated and uninformed". In response, audience started leaving theatre in eighties which seriously worried financiers but not theatres. To avoid complaints about lack of audience directors cut down theatre auditoriums, searched for new (smaller) facilities, justified a small number of performances by co productions, and sometimes manipulated with audience number data.
