ABSTRACT
To propose a theory of dramaturgy is an experiment. As such, it could be described as an attempt to solve some specific problems, by proposing concepts and lines of arguments, which answers the questions. How to formulate those problems? Whenever we formulate a problem, we have already made important inclusions and exclusions. Such is the function of theory. Let us therefore try to be as explicit as we can. This chapter presents the outline of the project, and exemplifies how dramaturgy has become an issue in a world society.
