Theatron

A theatron is an ancient Greek theater space used for performances, especially plays. It typically features a semi-circular arrangement of tiered seating that overlooks the stage area, allowing audiences to have clear views. The term originates from Greek words meaning "seeing place." The structure was designed not only for visibility and acoustics but also to create an immersive environment for storytelling, emphasizing communal experience. The concept of the theatron influenced the development of modern theaters and amphitheaters, blending architecture with performance arts to enhance audience engagement.
