The semantic semiotics of color in the Iraqi theatrical text (Ali Abd al-Nabi al-Zaidi as a model)

Abstract

Abstract:

Color is an important connotation in the Iraqi theatrical text that carries multiple semantic meanings related to place, time, characters and events. In Iraqi theatrical texts, color is used as a semantic material and part of the dramatic symbolism of the scene. For example, black is used to represent grief and despair, red to express love and passion, green to express life and hope. The color can also be used to distinguish characters in the play and put forward thoughts, beliefs and psychological situations, where different colors can be used to represent different characters, such as the use of black to represent evil characters, and white to represent pure and kind characters.

Furthermore, color can be used to represent space and time in the play. For example, red can be used to represent sunset and blue to represent night. The role of color in the play is not only semantic, it can also be used to achieve visual and aesthetic effects in the play, as it can be used to give an atmosphere and artistic touches to the theatrical show. Color has become different aspects that concern themselves with the formation of man's psychological state, environment, connotations and hermeneutic and iconic symbols.

Keywords: icon, color, connotation, interpretation.
