Summary/Abstract: The present study highlights the existence of a problem that some theatrical productions face: the minimization of theatrical emotion as the essence of the artistic act. Triggering the stage emotion is the fundamental element of acting creation and certain directorial subtleties can provoke the desired emotion in public. This is one of the most important conditions for the theater to achieve its purpose: the play to be played inside the spectator and not in front of him. This is also the explanation why - the emotion - was personified and presented like an entity. In this context, the paper highlights some essential points of the theatrical act. The theatrical convention, the psychology of emotion in the act of creation, the - wonderful If - are the keys to unleashing the emotional reaction that mirrors both the artist's point of view towards reality and the spectator's attitude towards the same stimulus.
