Abstract

When we try to navigate the experiment in search of the repressed and to find the dream of creativity by changing the modularity of the presentation, and the relationship of the characters with the rest of the elements according to a visual vision that reflects the product of the presentation system through the formation of visions and ideas within the textual structure.
We find that the expression of the theatrical act may need to exclude narrative dialogues and turn them into a tangible visual language. Physical and visual expression, and movement review, thus producing a “picture language” through which it is possible to form a new vision, and this is called (image theater), which translates the language of dialogue through lighting, music and costumes, as well as the movement of actors, in light of that a group of questions was concluded about the ability of this Theater on balance and the combination of image and sound? And the extent of his ability to activate the mechanism of semantic transformations that reach the modern recipient?
