Abstract:

The terms are directly related to two areas: scenography and Stagecraft and use of the most common lexicon of their professionals and amateurs. The thesis is a multilingual terminological work with 2,573 entries with their Spanish, French, Italian, English and German equivalents. In 385 of them there are technical notes that extend the useful information from the input. A total of 16,377 words in six languages. Includes 1,037 illustrations and pictures that complement terms. Includes an appendix of 20 Catalan terms related to scenography and stage machinery which have been used, and still currently used, in scenery workshops and stage. Most of them have been collected by the author through the oral tradition and many of them have never appeared in any printed book or glossary.

Also to those people, professionals and amateurs from the world of show biz, come into contact whit the stage, scenography, machinery, lighting, props, sound, characterization, costume, stage management, production, technical direction, stage direction and performing arts artists in general.
