traces in the the snow

- an actor's artistic autobiography Work Demonstration with Roberta Carreri

Every performance tells a story. The characters belonging to the world of fiction become credible reality for the spectator thanks to the actor’s technique.

In Traces in the Snow the technique itself becomes the protagonist. The actor carries on a dialogue with the secrets, which precede and follow the building of a character and the creation of a performance – and its process, she exposes these secrets. The tension, which characterizes every drama, is also present in this performance/work demonstration, due to the confrontation between the actor’s two forms of behaviour: daily and scenic.

 

“The art of the actor is based on the organization of his materials. And the actor must have a correct knowledge of the means of expression of his body”
