Book, Actor-composer, O[LS]

How to think about 'composition' in an actor's work? This is the starting point of this important study carried out in The Ator-Composer, by Matteo Bonfitto, which forms part of the rich and diverse theatrical bibliography published by Editora Perspectiva in its various collections. Despite numerous research on acting undertaken by great names in 20th century Western theater, self-interpretation continues to this day to be a practice that is present in the comedian's creative process and is defined as a kind of congenial form or inherent style. . Based on this fact and driven by the idea that theater is, above all, an exercise of art objectified with deliberation in the body of the performer, the research designed here 'traces' in artistic practices the essential elements that, together with systematic investigation, led to the development of different methods of constructing and shaping the work of self-incorporation of the author-object.
