Summary/Abstract: There are innumerable types of characters, and countless ways of giving them consistency and credibility. Starting with the The Book of Dances in 1974 and going on through Come! And the Day Will Be Ours, Brecht’s Ashes, The Million, The Gospel According to Oxyrhincus, Judith, Kaosmos, Inside the Whale’s Skeleton, Mythos, the street performance Anabasis and Ode to Progress, we accomapgny the actress Roberta Carreri, in the quest of the theatrical substance. A continuous game and fight to embody someone or somethink unknown, unfamiliar, something that could be called sometimes a character, but that would come out slowly, after hours, days and months of work, patience and passion.
