The Violence Hidden in Humor in the Children's Theatre

Abstract

Humour is a very important element for the Children's Theatre. The children's communication with the play depends on the fun they have. However, "violence" which we encounter as an important problem in the recent years is reaching us through the media technologies at every moment of the world we are living in. Cartoons, computer games, comic strips are presenting the violence of any kind-explicitly or implicitly, and frequently we internalize this violence unawares.
