Abstract

Taking Shekou Theatre Festival as an example, this paper discusses the immersion, resonance and spread of emotion in the "Postdramatic Theatre" Era. The author believes that in contemporary society, drama is no longer a stage performance in the traditional sense, but has changed into a more open and pluralistic cultural phenomenon. By breaking the boundaries of traditional theatres, Shekou Theatre Festival integrates drama with social, exhibition, public space and other elements, so that the audience can more deeply participate in the drama and feel the emotion and meaning. At the same time, the Theatre Festival also strengthens the communication effect of emotion by means of multimedia technology and cross-cultural elements, so that the audience can better understand and experience the emotions conveyed by drama. Finally, the article points out that the immersion, resonance and dissemination of emotion in the era of "post-drama theater" is of great significance to the cultural development of contemporary society.
