World Theatre Day was created in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute. It is celebrated every year on March 27 by theatre companies around the world. Theatre groups of all kinds put on special performances and events to mark the day. The most important event is the message given by a leading figure in world theatre. The first message was given by the French poet, novelist and film maker Jean Cocteau. World Theatre Day is also an occasion for actors, playwrights and directors to celebrate the power of the performing arts and how they bring people together. It is also a good chance for artists to show the world how theatre can and does create peace between people.
1961年，國際戲劇協(xié)會(huì)發(fā)起了世界戲劇日。每年的3月27日，全球劇院都會(huì)慶祝該節(jié)日。各個(gè)劇院都會(huì)舉辦特殊活動(dòng)來慶祝。其中最重要的活動(dòng)就是由一位戲劇界的知名人物發(fā)表感言。第一位傳遞訊息的人物是法國詩人，小說家，電影制作人讓·谷克多。對(duì)于演員、劇作家以及導(dǎo)演來說，他們會(huì)在這一天來慶祝表演藝術(shù)的偉大力量，以及它所發(fā)揮的團(tuán)結(jié)作用。對(duì)于藝術(shù)家來說，他們能夠有機(jī)會(huì)向世界展示戲劇為促進(jìn)世界和平所作出的貢獻(xiàn)。
Theatre is one of the oldest performing arts. It dates back thousands of years. It has its roots in story telling and evolved into acting and the stage. The word ‘theatre’ comes from the Greek ‘theatron’, which means "the seeing place". Theatre forms a rich part of every culture, from ancient Greek tragedies and Japanese Kabuki, to Indian Sanskrit epics and the medieval world of Islamic puppet theatre. Today theatre is enjoyed by millions of theatre-goers around the world. People have a huge choice of dramas, musicals and comedy theatre. They can enjoy watching the top actors on Broadway or London’s West End, or simply watch their local amateur dramatics production.
戲劇是最古老的表演藝術(shù)之一。它的歷史能夠追溯到數(shù)千年之前。它發(fā)源于講故事，并逐漸演變成舞臺(tái)表演藝術(shù)。“劇場(chǎng)”一次來源于希臘語“theatron”，它的意思是“觀看的對(duì)方”。在所有文化，劇場(chǎng)都扮演了非常重要的角色，從古希臘悲劇，日本歌舞町伎，再到印度的梵語史詩，中世紀(jì)的木偶劇院。如今，劇場(chǎng)受到了全球數(shù)百萬愛好者的喜愛。人們有許多選擇，戲劇，音樂劇，以及喜劇。他們能夠在百老匯或是西倫敦欣賞到頂級(jí)演員的精彩表演，或是觀看當(dāng)?shù)貥I(yè)余戲劇班的表演。
