<p>The human being maintains a specially intense relationship with everything concerning time and space. The natural surrounding as well as the inanimated universe which surround him are perfect mute interlocutors, cause and effect of a great part of his activity. The structural and functional complexity of the environment has in its theatrical reproduction almost the same importance as human behaviour.</p>
<p>Theatrical practice has traditionally created guild divisions between setting, atrezzo and tools, corresponding to more or less systematical groups of objects, according to their size and function, within a technical judgment which, during the performance, separates the objects introduced by the characters themselves from those placed on the stage by other means. It could be said that this mechanical tradition arisen from the practice is better, in some of its systematization aspects, than many present theories about objects.</p>
<p>This work, under six epigraphs —«The Surrounding: from the Social Context to the Scenic Context», «Scenic Function of Objets», «Recognition of the Dramatic Role of Objects», «The Private Object», «The Aleatory Sign» and «Scenic Obligations»—, examines dramatically the representation of the social surrounding, according to the different scenic functions of objects and proposes a scheme of the working of the dramatic role of objects, from the study of the influence of personal accessories on the dramatic action in five recent Catalan adaptations for the stage: Guimerà's Maria Rosa, staged by John Strasberg; Brossa's Cavall al fans, staged by Jordi Mesalles; Genet's El balcó, staged by Lluís Pasqual; Labiche's El més feliç dels tres and Wilde's La importància de ser Franc, both staged by Jaume Melendres.</p>...

<p>The distrust of the theatre in the Italian manner has been followed by its revaluation; this coincides with a revival of the interest in image and distance to the detriment of the search for contact and intimacy with the audience. However, the return to the theatre in the Italian manner does not correspond with the disappearance of works about non-theatrical spaces. Image and theatre only prevail over contact and place. Priorities have changed. The experiences of Arianne Mnouchkine at the Cartoucherie, and those of André Engel and Nicky Rieti, who look for new spaces for each performance, reveal this trend. Other directors, such as Roger Planchan and Jean-Pierre Vincent, have addressed painters of the «new figuration» for their scenographies. Patrice Chéreau and Richard Peduzzi have prefered the «utopian architectures » recreating places that upset for their ambiguity although they seem familiar. For Peter Brook, on the contrary, architecture becomes scenography. Antaine Vitez and Yannis Kokkos reconstruct the «state of theatre» as it were a «state of mind». In the French scenography there is a confrontation between these two ways: the true and the false. The return to the use of the curtain is symptomatic of the return to the image of theatre created by the passing of time: a theatre of imagination and secrecy, a theatre of distance and nota theatre of proximity.</p>...
