Exploring the evolution of theater, this seminar paper discusses the dynamic interaction between actors and props on stage, emphasizing the complex relationships that develop within this confined space. It highlights the shift from an exclusive intellectual audience to a more inclusive experience, particularly following Diderot's challenge to the fourth wall, which brought the stage closer to viewers. The work examines the continuous process of association and disassociation that characterizes theatrical performances, reflecting on the broader implications for audience engagement.
