Summary/Abstract: Narrative is important in art and one person show; either going on writing version, whether it deals with non-verbal way, the show is a story and the actor tells a story. There is an opinion stating that a story to be compelling must give birth to mental images. If recently the one person show took a so large scale on the world stage, this may be due to the fact that modern man feels the essential feelings call, far from any antics and virtuosities. Theatre cannot be accepted from this wave and is forced to acquire the specific language because it is not sufficient the expression of disparate images. Picture narrative professionals designed a set of proposals towards better communication of a message. Based on the concept of scriptwriting, the actor or director develops individual characters, creating a world stage with its own rules and causal relationships. Light in the performance needs fluency, mystery. The light should not only reveal, but rather to know what and how to hide. Theatrical space thus becomes a world with its own rules (graphics, compositional, mechanical); we develop spaces and spatial rhythms with light. The supreme goal is the ability to print light’s status of a character.
