Non-realism in the Theatre

Non-realism
By 1900 playwrights and directors began to use non-realistic forms and styles in their plays.
Many European playwrights turned away from Realism and Naturalism and adopted techniques of symbolic and other non-realistic drama.
Symbolism
Symbolism in art implied a higher, more spiritual existence and aimed to express emotional experiences by visual means.
The Symbolists ventured into the world of the subconcious mind and dreams.
A symbol implies a greater meaning than the literal suggestion and is usually used to represent something other than what it is at face value.
Symbolism in the theatre can be achieved via characters, colour, movement, costume and props.
