  Abstract:  Historians of theatre and art historians often use the term of “theatricality” when talking about the specificity of the art of Theatre, when describing pictures or more complex artistic phenomena. This article aims at introducing the reader to the plural significance of the word “theatricality”, through a short historical course. This question “What is Theatricality?” has preoccupied more than one specialist and its answer still remains problematic, mainly as we are going to see, because of its plurality. We are thus going to cross the different meanings of the word “theatricality”, asking ourselves what this theatricality implies, what is it referring at, how it takes birth and manifests itself generally, in Life, but also in domains closely connected to that of the artistic realm of Theatre.

Keywords: theatricality, theatre and life, didascalic process.
