"Political theater" refers to the use of drama and symbolism in political events to engage and influence public opinion. This term highlights how politicians and activists often stage events, speeches, or protests to create a specific narrative or to dramatize issues, sometimes prioritizing performance over substantive action. The focus is on the spectacle of politics, aiming to capture media attention and mobilize public support. Political theater can effectively raise awareness about critical issues, yet it critiques the authenticity of interactions in the political sphere.
