Establishment of the gaze -A study on theater and expression

This thesis is a study of the theater as a space generated by the audience rather than a physical structure. This theater can be viewed as a world perceived by the gaze of the audience rather than a framework that marks the people, things and expressions in the theater. And in no way is the gaze regulated. Rather, the audienceÕs gaze itself is what establishes the theater. The gaze of the audience that forms this kind of space and the way the theater emerges through the gaze is described here.
