THE TEXT OF THE PERFORMANCE: FROM LITERATURE TO IMAGE
THE TEXT OF THE PERFORMANCE: FROM LITERATURE TO IMAGE

Summary/Abstract: The performance recollection is the “mnemic” image of the play, the images in the play that we remember and that have stuck in the memory by the unbiased participation in its carrying out and representation. And the creation of this complex system of images is a development equally laborious and fascinating, equally ordered and rational, equally creative and poetic; it is, in fact, the laboratory part that most of us – theatre creators – will most frequently leave unexplained, undisclosed. The creation of the theatrical performance starting with the text, with the reading of the text, which, most of the times, is explained to the scenographer, and not only, directly in images. This is why I believe that the reading of the text is a zero-image of the performance.
