There are two opposite things happening at the same time when going to the theater:
- You are amazed by some things (How did they do this, from a technical point of view? How did they give me this emotion? How did the subject evolve like this?);
- You don’t understand some things within the play (Why did they say so? What’s the main idea? What happened one minute ago?);
- In general, I get so absorbed in the story that I completely disconnect from my current problems;
- Theater relaxes me tremendously, unlike movies, which make me tired because of the concentration required when watching a screen.
The thing is, these tend to compensate one with the other – so, first you are amazed, but then you don’t understand some things, but these two tend to compensate one with the other.
All in all, generally you like what you see, even if you don’t understand everything.
