Abstract

The present study sheds a light on the theoretical and practical process of the gesture’s mise en scé€ne and it’s importance to the overall design of the scenic image of the opera performance. The icastic gesture is a visual, verbal, or mu- sical “singularity”, intended to communicate the most direct, effective, and clear as possible an intention, a feeling, or a meaning. It is also an essential component of the articulation and balance of all interartistic signs evolving within the spectacle’s space time.
