Do you prefer the theatric style of GMing, or the realistic style?

For example, I prefer the theatric style, so I allow my players to do things that would not be possible in the real world. If they want to jump from one horse to a cart pushed by the other, good for them. If they want to light a wall on fire with magic, then charge through it, good for them. I also try to spring unrealistic but cool encounters on them, like causing their airship to fall and making them jump from the ship to their opponents flying discs, pushing them off as they go.
