EDITORS COMMENTS
- The Absurdity of the Arts League of Service Travelling Theatre (circa 1920s) This photograph captures the enigmatic and whimsical essence of the Arts League of Service Travelling Theatre's production, "En Bateau," staged aboard a boat during the 1920s. The Travelling Theatre, an initiative founded in the spirit of idealism following the First World War, aimed to bring higher forms of entertainment and opportunities for artistic exploration to the masses. The company's repertoire consisted of a diverse array of offerings, including short plays by esteemed authors such as Yeats, Synge, Galsworthy, Tchekov, and Shaw, as well as folk-songs, shanties, dances, mimes, and expressionist recitations. The absurdity of staging a theatrical performance on a boat adds to the allure and intrigue of this unique and innovative troupe. The photograph showcases the performers in various poses, seemingly frozen in the midst of a scene. The theatrical staging, with its exaggerated expressions and dramatic lighting, underscores the absurdity and playful nature of the production. The dancers, mimes, and actors, dressed in period costumes, exude a sense of joy and enthusiasm as they prepare to entertain their audience. The Arts League of Service's motto, "To bring the Arts into Everyday Life," was a testament to their commitment to making art accessible to all. This photograph serves as a reminder of the power of art to transport us to new worlds, challenge our perceptions, and bring a sense of wonder and delight to our lives.
