Summary/Abstract: This contribution describes the long lasting friendship between the author and Eugenio Barba, both from a personal and from an artistic point of view. It begins with the author’s trip to Holstebro in 1971, in order to see a performance, Min Fars Hus and to write an universitary research paper. This inaugural event was continued by various collaborations. The Theatre of Pontedera, founded by the author, transferred some of Eugenio Barba’s ideas in Italy and permitted Roberto Bacci to create the context of inviting Jerzy Grotowski there (1986 - 1999), where the Polish master tought his last lessons on acting and directing.
