When did drama start?

The word "drama" comes from the Greek term for an action performed. Drama tells stories through action and speech.

We do not know the exact time of the drama. The beginning was laid with church ceremonies in which the life of God was sung by one person or a group of people. Modern dramatic works have their roots in ancient Greece. In Greece, the dramatic art reached great heights.

The Greeks invented two types of it: tragedy and comedy. Tragedy is associated with suffering and death, usually has an unhappy ending. Comedy touches on the brighter side of life, with humor, emotion and a happy ending. The Greek plays known as classical drama were written in verse. This was typical of all the plays of famous playwrights hundreds of years ago. At present, almost all dramatic works are written in prose.

Greek drama began with the worship of the god of wine, Dionysus. The play was performed only on holy days. The theater has always been as sacred as the temple. The tradition was a ritual in honor of Dionysus, when a male choir sang hymns, praising the god. In ancient times it became a tradition that the soloist of the choir sang for Dionysus. He became the first actor.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Kinescope on Chernobyl 04.03.2000

Every year, German viewers throw into the landfill about half a million used kinescopes weighing from 10 to 30 kilograms. Burying them is a big problem. Firstly, the phosphor that covers the screen from the inside contains cadmium and is therefore poisonous. Secondly, the cone of the kinescope is made of lead glass, which is also unsafe for burial (this glass absorbs X-rays that occur when the TV is in operation). And it is also difficult to melt it into new kinescopes, because the screen itself is made of another, barium-strontium glass, which also absorbs radiation. For secondary use, these varieties would have to be separated.

The Munich company "Stratecon" proposes to use German kinescopes for shielding the Chernobyl sarcophagus. The idea is to build something like a rack of steel corners around the sarcophagus, on which to place old kinescopes in two layers, alternately - neck or screen first. You can also fill them with some material that absorbs radiation. Then this structure is poured with concrete.

This idea has already been patented, and both in Germany and Ukraine, the first experiments to test it are underway. It is estimated that several hundred thousand old kinescopes will be needed for its implementation.
