 The theater

Theater is one of the oldest cultural and artistic Kiactivities known to mankind. It is one of the

better appreciate what will be shown on the spot.

from it, it is two curtains that divide the theater.

actresses appearing in the play. So that they can make use of the space for the
pertinent tasks, such as putting on makeup, dressing and everything required to get
ready and go on stage.

• Stage dressing rooms: The dressing rooms are used to make quick changes within
the same work, and occur within the same stage before the eyes of the spectator.

• Security curtain: The security curtain is usually made of steel or another type of
resistant metal. This is intended to serve as a firewall in the event of a fire.

• Loom: In these rods that make up the loom, not only the curtains are generally
hung, but also the spotlights, legs, screens, among other production elements.

A theatrical script is the text where all the content of a literary and technical nature
necessary for the assembly and realization of a play is presented. The script is the
format under which a story adapted to the theater is written.

understanding by the public. For example, the dagger with which one character kills
another.

as a book, a cane or a glass of water.
• scene: elements that remain on stage throughout an entire scene, or the
performance as a whole. For example, a window or a lamp.
