Abstract
Scenographic conception is almost impossible to deemphasise in any artistic composition. As a matter of fact, its relevance cannot be relegated to the background in the areas of visual interpretation, dramatic realisation and technical actualisation of any creative piece. Scenography is an integration of all the visual components of the production with no restriction to the spaces and places in the theatre building rather; it encompasses all the paralinguistic aesthetics in the production process. Scenic artistry, scenography, scenic writing or painting could also be regarded as mise en scéne in any theatrical performance. This is because its embraces the totality and completeness of the artistic, dramatic and technical elements of the production.
