A new theatre approach within the context of the similarities between shamanic rituals and meddah plays, and a sample play writing

It has become harder than ever to make sense of the world we live in and define the art pieces of this era. The problems of theatre, such as "what it is and what it should be" has been discussed and pointed out but the solutions that are proposed are mostly personal and focused on newest technology. Whenas, the art of theatre is as old as humanity and in its roots are the primitive needs of humans such as ritual, religion, and sorcery. Contingently, people in this postmodern times, who has forgotten their essence, should remember the main reason humanity needed and invented art. Despite the fact that the history of theatre has been examined and thought through Ancient Greece, it is this study's main purpose to find new ways of theatre and storytelling by examining cultural and national roots of ours. In the polytheistic times of humanity, artistic forms have been developed in every continent within the context of their culture and belief systems. And with this study, the polytheistic belief system of Turks, Shamanic Rituals and its reflections on art will be determined by Meddah Plays and, it will be investigated if a new theatre approach and understanding could be formed with the connections found.
