The term "scenography" is considered a relatively modern concept that emerged clearly in the 20th century; however, its roots extend back to the early origins of theater, where it manifested under various names and practices. Literally, scenography means "scene drawing," yet it encompasses much more than that. It includes all visual compositional elements of the scene, such as the actor's body, costume design, lighting, and the spatial arrangement of forms within theatrical or cinematic space. Although the concept is sometimes misinterpreted by some practitioners—who may assume that it overextends to include an all-encompassing treatment of space—scenography, at its core, is an integrative art that plays a vital role in constructing the performance. It does so by merging visual and auditory dimensions in a manner that supports the director's vision and enhances the portrayal of characters and narrative structure. Scenography holds a central role in shaping the aesthetic and intellectual meaning of a performance through its capacity to encode spaces and generate overlapping cultural, temporal, and spatial connotations. It is not merely about adding aesthetic value; rather, it reinterprets texts and narrative components visually, making it a fundamental element in the creation of spectacle and a mode of expression that transcends the boundaries of direct language.
