Theatronetto
Theatronetto is an Israeli theater festival that exhibits monodramas, and takes place in Tel Aviv annually since 1990. The festival establishes a direct dialog between the solo actor and the viewing audience. The festival takes place annually during the Jewish holiday of Passover, usually in April. Its main event is a contest, to which's finals few monoactors manage to reach. The festival's name is a mix of the Hebrew words ''theatron'' (meaning theater) and ''netto'' (meaning only, just). The name emphasizes the essence of the festival, which is exposing the audience to monologues, the rawest and of the oldest forms of theater, and testing the actors' verbal delivery abilities and presenting the monologue as an enjoyable and crowd-swaying story and play. Some of the finest actors in Israel have performed on the festival's stage and have promoted the difficult form of monologue in Israeli theater. Traditionally the festival took place at the Suzanne Dellal Center, and later on mov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Theatre Festivals In Israel
Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. The specific place of the performance is also named by the word "theatre" as derived from the Ancient Greek θέατρον (théatron, "a place for viewing"), itself from θεάομαι (theáomai, "to see", "to watch", "to observe"). Modern Western theatre comes, in large measure, from the theatre of ancient Greece, from which it borrows technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes, stock characters, and plot elements.

Monologues are common across the range of dramatic media (plays, films, etc.), as well as in non-dramatic media such as poetry. Monologues share much in common with several other literary devices including soliloquies, apostrophes, and asides. There are, however, distinctions between each of these devices.
