Opis

...the Arab world had the essential seeds of an Arabic theatre. Arabs knew different kinds of theatricality. One of them is 'Khayal zill'. This TV-like theatre is considered by a large number of critics as an independent theatre... When it comes to Morocco, we can state with confidence 'Lbsat' as the best presentation of Moroccan theatricality. In fact, 'Lbsat' in its structure and performance is, to some extent, like Comedia Del Arte. The 'Lbsat' also has fixed characters that one must stick to while making a spectacle before an audience. In addition, some of Lbsat's characters and personae wear masks. The reason of using masks is to have more confidence and to take out any sort of shyness while performing improvised spectacles in front of the king or Sultan of the country... In fact, theatre is everywhere and every when. It is not a festivity of a specific society rather it is everyone's... It seems that the concept "theatre" is the concept that must be reconsidered not our popular theatrical forms. These theatrical forms are not only preparatory forms for theatre, but they are independent theatricalities that must be studied and formalised.
