Fourth Wall:
The fourth wall refers to the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. The presence of the fourth wall is an established convention of fiction and drama, which has led some artists to draw direct attention to it for dramatic or comedic effect. When this boundary is "broken", for example by an actor onstage speaking to the audience directly, or doing the same through the camera in a film or television program, it is called "breaking the fourth wall."
