It is a polysemic concept used in many contexts; However, one of the most common uses refers to the set of fabrics strategically organized, on a stage, to hide the scenographic and electronic details of the work from the expectant public. The backdrops, likewise, are located in the highest part, being supported by the side curtains that are extended once the presentation is over; As mentioned above, most of the time, the function of these articles is to hide small production details from observers.
The backdrops, on the other hand, are those parts of the set of thicker canvases, which seek to modify the size (width and length) of the stage, staying behind, and seek to blend in with the scenery and special light effects. The expression “behind the scenes” is used to baptize the exploration or collection of information about what is behind the canvases, not only in the technical aspect of the work, but also in the human, observing how the project participants behave.
Similarly, backstage is the term designated for decorative spheres, used specifically in Christmas trees; These are traditional objects that vary in size and color, being considered one of the most important items at that time of year. Some revolutionary producers have sought to transform the shape of the backstage, but they are not as widely used as the circular ones. They are organized and linked with other decorations, such as bows and lights of different colors, to create a sense of joy.
