Unlike the early years of 20th century,
presently, there have been new techniques,
ideas and performance methods evolved
in the process of creating aesthetic stage
atmosphere. With the presence of modern
dramas and works which offer special
atmosphere and various attitudes, the
dramatic atmosphere (stage design) attracts
attention and consequently stage designers
have attempted to utilize modern technologies
to create different atmosphere. Amongst these
atmospheres there is minimal art which is
the appendix of pop art made by presenting
3-D works and is created from different
components. The importance of this art is the
iconoclasm of the artists in this artistic period.
All minimalists believed in the slogan “Less
is more!”. Minimalism is a movement which
progresses towards reduction, by removing
external manifestations to the benefit of the
concept of finding objects. This research
aiming to study the aesthetic functions of
minimalism and the structural importance
and the situation of stage design in the
contemporary era and focusing on the special
qualities of the dramatic atmosphere which
have created distinctive characteristics in the
stage design, seeks to answer the following
questions “Does this method and/or approach
in the modern society appeals the theatre
audience?”, “Has this attitude been used or
not and how?”
This research method is based on the
descriptive- analytical approach and in
collecting the information, library method
and virtual atmosphere functions have been
utilized.
The present essay analyzes the aesthetic
thought on creating minimalistic atmosphere
in line with clarifying the research generalities
and reviewing the history of minimalism. This
research displays an image of protecting the
authenticity of theatre on the dynamism and
visual diversity in creating atmosphere and
interaction with the theatre audience.
