Definice a Význam "presentational acting"

What is "presentational acting"?

Presentational acting is a style of performance where actors deliberately acknowledge the audience and may even interact with them directly. In this approach, the actors do not try to create an illusion of reality, but rather embrace the theatrical nature of the performance. This style is often more exaggerated and stylized, with actors sometimes addressing the audience, narrating the action, or stepping out of character to comment on the story. The goal of presentational acting is to engage the audience by making them aware that they are watching a performance, often adding layers of meaning or humor to the experience.
