Σκέφτηκα να το προσθέσω μια και κάποιοι προτιμούν το «σπάσιμο» του τοίχου (και μ' έσπασε).

Fourth wall The proscenium opening, through which the audience views the play, is the fourth wall. Prior to the nineteenth century, plays were presentational in style with the performers speaking their dialogue out to the audience even if their words were being directed to another character on the stage. By the twentieth century, naturalism and realism had become the modern form of play writing and presentation. With the works of Chekhov, Stanislavski, and Eugene O'Neill the convention of the fourth wall became even more important, giving the audience the feeling that they were observing life, seeing it through the fourth wall of a room.
Breaking the fourth wall Actors break the illusion of the fourth wall when they look at people in the audience, acknowledging their presence, or speak directly to them. Sometimes the fourth wall is broken simply by the actor crossing too far down stage onto the apron of the stage, breaking the illusion of the boundaries of the setting or room in which the characters are supposed to be living.
