Summary:The present article approaches the contemporary problematics around the notion of theatricality; its various definitions, criticisms and approaches concerning performing arts in the West, according to theorists and artists since the beginning of the 20th century. Supported by a historical approach of theatricality, this article revisits its relation to the notions of performance and performativity, providing material to analyze the emergence of theatricality in the creation of Macbeth (2014) at the Théâtre du Soleil.
