ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scenography

Scenography is like building a big and fancy playhouse for grown-ups, but for a special story or play. Imagine you are putting on a play about a magical land with a princess and a dragon. Scenography would involve creating a big stage or environment that helps bring the story to life.

For example, painters might help paint backgrounds or props that make the play look like a real magical land. Lighting designers might make the stage look like it's night time or have different colors to set the mood. Costume designers might make special outfits for the characters that help make them look like the princess and dragon.

All of these people work together with the director of the play to make sure every little detail helps tell the story and bring the audience into the magical land. It's like building a big pretend world for everyone to play in!
