description In this study, the concept and understandings of theatricality are investigated through the mediatized forms of communication in theatrical performance. The multiple semantics of theatricality that developed throughout the history of theater and the motives behind their constitution will be summarized first. This semantic context will then be contextualized in the development of mediated forms of theatricality, such as cinema and television, and through the mediatization process prompted by reproduction technology. The study will trace the formal and intellectual evolution of theater during the 19 th and 20 th centuries through the emergence of mass media in human life, and it will investigate their mutual influence on one another. This comparative analysis reveals a cause-and-effect relationship on the different and/or opposing meanings attributed to the concept of theatricality. Throughout, this article approaches mediatization as a sub-discipline of research that facilitates the comprehension and explanation of theatricality within theatrical performance and beyond.
