The Effectiveness of Scenography in a Theatrical Performance

Abstract

It is known that the director cannot alone translate the dramatic text into a theatrical performance unless his efforts are combined with a group of assistant technicians, such as the lighting technician, the music technician and the make-up maker, but the work of projection techniques or the term (stenographic) or cinology is one of the most important works that control the theatrical presentation, and on which contemporary dramatic directing is based compulsorily. The first thing that the viewer's eye encounters is the scenographic form as part of our experience of what constitutes theatre.

    The uses of scenography, as a visual-technical means of expression, have varied between a kinetic chromatic creation that formed in its spaces a movement of multiple techniques such as the movement of architecture, scenery, costumes, makeup, lighting, colours, acoustics... etc. and the formations of the actor's body that interacts with his movement and stillness, and his initiative with all these elements in the space until he becomes a vibrant element from and to them. Scenography is one of the visual elements of the show, such as light and colour, or suggestive elements such as mass and movement, but it goes beyond that to express the sensory and visual aspects of the actor's body itself, as well as the elements of the theatrical space, namely the auditorium and the stage
