Summary/Abstract: : Living phenomenon, which is in constant need of redefinition, theater almost has developed its own consciousness, with which, from time to time, seeks for analogies, bridges, possible connecting factors. The image was, along the theatre history, an important issue. Through it, in the last century, the act of representation itself has become a bridge between different fields of art, uniting fine arts and cinema. A remodeling of the concept of image was made at the beginning of the 20th century by the expressionist current, which reformulated the theoretical and aesthetic principles of the theatre, offering a new perspective both in the technical sector of representation and the causal sequence word-interpretation-visual. Artistic expressive function of the image, as we know it today, comes as a legacy left to theatrical art by expressionist artists, and its persistent influences in modern theater range from dramatic manner to director's vision, from the written play to the stage show.
