Summary/Abstract: This article explores the mechanisms of reception of theatrical forms that seem to erase the experience of sense, immersing the viewer in the experience of pure forms of the scene. These forms are pure in that they are presentations rather than representations, in other words, meaningful forms of meaning, that is, those who have lost their semiotic function. Thus, instead of finding meaning, the spectator is pleased with the sensitivities that these scenic presence feels. How can the spectator still find pleasure in the theater if the pleasure of meaning is refused? To the extent that the scene is no longer the place for representation, but rather that of pure event or simulation, the experience that the viewer must experience is the phenomenological experience itself. We will try to show here that the contemporary theatrical experience is becoming more and more on the way of experimenting presence effects and phenomenological phenomena, products such as simulations and expected to be perceived by spectators as virtual experiences of a different universe, sometimes even of a different consciousness
