劇場自希臘時期發源至今，為因應時代潮流歷經了多場的革新與轉變。如今，劇場接受了當代思維與新興科技的洗禮，除了突破了傳統劇院建築的空間限制、超越了以文本為主軸的表演方法外，還提供了參與者有別於傳統劇場透過視覺作為單一方法的觀看形式：藉由不同的感覺器官來接收環境訊息，達到能夠滿足五感的戲劇「沉浸」體驗。然而當我們認為「沉浸」為當代的關鍵詞之一的同時，透過文獻卻發現，傳統劇場研究中早已出現過關於戲劇「沉浸」的相關討論。 本研究提出包含：（一）在不同劇場再現空間中，空間設計操作手法為何?以及（二）在劇場再現空間中，影響受眾（觀眾或參與者）的空間感知因素為何?針對問題，首先透過文獻回顧，探討過往有關劇場發展、空間設計、空間感知、空間認知、戲劇沉浸等相關學術論述。再者，以傳統劇場與當代沉浸式戲劇體驗兩個案例作為對象進行分析，透過文獻回顧中歸結出的空間設計因子，釐清設計者在面對不同劇場再現空間案例時，操作「沉浸感受」手法上的差異，並進一步得出觀眾（參與者）與空間之間的連結，研究發現，在傳統劇場中然舊存在隔閡，儘管透過設計手段試圖縮短觀眾與舞台間的距離，但礙於經典劇作、表演空間，劇場硬體設備、動線設計等規範限制而不得輕易縮減。反之沉浸式戲劇則完全打破了觀眾與舞台之間的既存關係，甚至透過劇本的引導、空間的帶入，使參與者化作劇中人物，讓「觀者」這個角色完全顛覆，與劇本融為一體。並將結果作為日後相關「戲劇空間沉浸體驗」之設計參考。 本研究受測者九位，分別觀看一場傳統劇場戲劇與參與一場當代沉浸式戲劇體驗，試圖透過實驗結果回應，上述兩者影響受眾（體驗者）的空間認知與感知因素。從體驗前、體驗中與體驗後三階段分別進行沉浸（心流）因素量表的問卷蒐集及質性問答的搜羅，發現多數受測者對於「傳統」之案例，無論在場域、戲劇內容上，皆具備一定程度的認知與認識。而在「沉浸式」之案例中，有部分參與者不認同自己有信心完成任務，原因在於對於體驗形式的認知缺乏。在傳統劇場的體驗中，聽覺、視覺、移動是受測者認為最主要影響空間感知的因素；而在沉浸式戲劇體驗的問答結果中，視覺、聽覺與移動依舊被認為是關鍵影響因素。由此可知，無論是傳統劇場抑或是沉浸式戲劇體驗，視覺、聽覺與移動依舊是主導人們進行感受性判斷的主要媒介。而針對空間認知的部分，多數參與者，無論是針對傳統劇場或是沉浸式戲劇體驗，皆肯定過去經驗將對於當前身處的的空間產生影響，並產生空間認知層面的連結。雖然過程中發現多處在此研究中無法克服之限制，但也深深地感受到「沉浸」一詞對於當代建築、空間、戲劇、藝術等領域的重要性與廣泛性。因此建構在本研究基礎上，希望未來能夠透過更細微的角度切入探討，讓無論是設計者或是空間受眾都能夠更加認識「空間沉浸」的相關知識。

Theater, originating from ancient Greece to the present, has undergone numerous innovations and transformations to adapt to the trends of different eras. Today, theater has embraced contemporary thinking and emerging technologies. It has surpassed the spatial constraints of traditional theater architecture and moved beyond performance methods centered around text. Theater now offers participants a different viewing experience from traditional theater, incorporating various senses to achieve an immersive theatrical experience that satisfies all five senses. While we consider "immersion" a keyword of the modern era, research literature reveals that discussions on theatrical "immersion" have already appeared in studies of traditional theater. This study presents two main questions: (1) What spatial design techniques are used in different theater re-presentation spaces? and (2) What factors in theater re-presentation spaces affect the perception of the audience? To address these questions, the study begins with a review of literature discussing theater development, spatial design, spatial perception, spatial cognition, and immersive theater experiences. It then analyzes two cases: traditional theater and contemporary immersive theater experiences. The study identifies differences in the techniques of creating an "immersive feeling" in different theater re-presentation space scenarios. It further explores the connection between the audience and the space. The study finds that in traditional theater, despite efforts to reduce the distance between the audience and the stage through design, barriers exist due to classical plays, performance spaces, theater hardware, and prescribed constraints. On the other hand, immersive theater completely breaks down the existing relationship between the audience and the stage. Through script guidance and spatial design, participants become characters in the play, subverting the traditional role of "spectator" and merging with the script. The study aims to utilize these findings as design references for future "theater space immersive experiences." The study involves nine participants who each viewed a traditional theater play and participated in a contemporary immersive theater experience. The study seeks to respond to the factors influencing the perception and cognition of participants in both traditional and immersive theater experiences. Using immersion (flow) factor scales and qualitative questionnaires collected before, during, and after the experiences, the study discovered that most participants had a certain degree of familiarity with the "traditional" case in terms of setting and play content. In the "immersive" case, some participants lacked confidence in completing tasks due to a lack of familiarity with the experiential format. In both cases, visual, auditory, and movement factors were considered key elements influencing spatial perception. Additionally, most participants acknowledged that past experiences influenced their perception of the current space, regardless of whether it was a traditional or immersive theater experience. Despite limitations encountered during the study, the concept of "immersion" proves to be vital and widespread in contemporary fields such as architecture, space, theater, and art. Building upon this research, the hope is to explore "space immersion" from more nuanced angles in the future, allowing designers and space occupants to better understand related knowledge.
