Performing arts are dying in the West, amirite?

Agree. It's kinda despairing...

Tell me you don't go to the theater without telling me you don't go to the theater

Theaters are also perpetuating this, you think I don't know? In my country, finding a well-written play or a good ballet is like finding an oasis in a desert, the odds are needle-in-a-haystack.

I think that theater has just become anachronic in the age of cinema. Cinema is the "upgraded theater", so in order to keep the audience interested in theater you have to suprise or shock them somehow. I personally am not into theater, I find it pretentious, I feel like it's just a bunch of dressed up people pretending something. Probably if I was born in the renaissance era I would find it fascinating, because the entertainment options then were very limited.

I understand your opinion, however, relying on shock-factor only is a sign of bad writing and/or conceptualizing.

They love themselves and their identity in art, not art in themselves. So, they show off instead of committing to quality performance and that's the problem.
