Summary/Abstract: We live in a visual rush generated by an amalgam of messages and information and their manifestation is as diverse, as it is contradictory. A dynamic, unpredictable, sinuous world, whose "slips" are hard to accept, but, although it seems difficult-to-handle, can be understood and decrypted once one knows its mechanism of communication. Theatrical performance is built on the basis of spatial structures and visual assemblies, architectural configurations belonging to different semiotic systems, and to some types of codes and diverse conventions. This totalizing perspective, we consider that it is the most appropriate approach to theatre performance, both to detect structural elements and to the decryption of features related to the specifics of stage imagery.
