Summary/Abstract: What is theatre and where do we look for it? Over time, in men, in epochs, it is a universal means ofcommunication, which defines, through its methods of expression, the search and evolution of man. Genesis is the inspirational source of originality value. The rediscovery and reinvention of ointments through their own imagination raked in the past, sustains and demonstrates their necessity in the theatrical universe. The symbol of theatre is the mask of all its valences and shapes. Through the mask we are in front of the verb, which involves the renunciation of one's own interpret and of the verb to claim - which offers the possibility of occurrence of alterity, so that the artist's face does not matter in the respective universe. Mask is the symbol found in ancient theatre, Greek, Latin, in the Middle Ages, in Commedia dell'Arte, in the contemporary theatre, in the Japanese theatre, in animation and, of course, in all popular artistic styles.
