In the context of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory, the back region is an area away from 'front region' performances. It is where individuals can relax their public image, step out of their roles, and behave more spontaneously. The back region is characterised by informality, where performers can prepare for their front stage performances, discuss them with fellow performers, and contradict the impression they present to the audience. This space allows for behaviours that might be considered inappropriate or inconsistent with the front stage persona. The contrast between the front and back regions highlights the conscious effort individuals make to manage impressions in social interactions.
