What is the meaning of a presentation? How real is it? In a performance, stage is very important for the performer. Do you know what happens behind the stage? In order to reveal not only the front stage, the artist decides to perform both in front and behind the backdrop. Therefore, a stage is just a line that divides between the front and the behind of a scene. Sometimes, the artist thinks that he is not the performer but rather the stage, whereas the audience is actually the performer.
