Abstract EN

This article deals with the suitability of applying the literary criticism approach in analyzing theatrical works from the view that the theatrical work is a literary type, and therefore it is subject, during the analysis of its material, to the same cognitive tools applied to the rest of the literary genres, where the attention was focused on the writer’s life and its impact on the life of the writer.

theatrical work and the relationship between its various elements.

theatrical studies-like the rest of literary genres-at a later stage were interested in researching the political, economic and social factors that in turn affected theatrical production.

accordingly, this study presents the different trends of critics in the study of theater, which separates the theater from being a “literary” text and being a “show” presented to the audience, as it was necessary to invent new tools that answer the questions posed by the new artistic forms.

the study reached several results, such as that theatrical work is a synthetic work based on the installation of objects or purposes and placing them in the display space, as well as concepts that will change the view of theater, and that it is not possible to talk about theater if it is not viewed outside the concept of literature, and this what would open the debate in the Algerian university, which opened specializations in theater through the following question : is it possible to train in theater from inside the university's stands only ?.
