ESCAPE TO THE NORTH – LAUDATIO

Summary/Abstract: Excellence awards in the academic sphere are, obviously, a practice reserved to remarkable minds.

We could not sum up his complex activity as theatre director, theorist and pedagogue, as founder of institutions and tireless experimenter, as prestigious, widely translated author, and as passionate and resourceful cultural promoter, if we did not apply the “virtue of omission”, a technique recommended by Barba himself to the actor, so that the latter does not “disperse oneself around in an excess of expressivity and vitality”.
