| 释义 | proscenium (once / 16837 pages) n The proscenium of a theater stage is a structure in front of the stage that frames the action of the play. It can be square or arched, and the stage curtain is generally directly behind it. The ancient Greeks gave us the modern concept of theater and, with it, the proscenium, one of the divisions of the stage. The word itself can be broken down into prō-, "in front of," and skēnē, "scene": The proscenium is thus the part "in front of the scenery." In a modern theater, the proscenium makes up the so-called "fourth wall," the invisible barrier that separates the stage from the audience and through which the audience watches the action. WORD FAMILYproscenium: prosceniums USAGE EXAMPLESThe staging, which involves changing projections that often spread beyond the grandiose theater’s proscenium space helps keep the show eye-filling.
