About Erzsébet B. Fülöp's book The Basics of Theatrical Hermeneutics: Gesture as Hermeneutical

Summary/Abstract: Márta Bodó reviews the book of Tg-Mures based actor and teacher, Erzsébet B. Fülöp, entitled The Basics of Theatrical Hermeneutics: Gesture as Hermeneutical Action (A színházi hermeneutika alapjai: a Gesztus mint hermeneutikai tett). The volume begins with a general presentation of hermenutics and continues with the hermeneutical approach to the basic gesture of the actor, based on Brecht’s concept (Gestus). Further on it presents the spectator’s perspective and follows the actor’s gestures in five performances: it analyses Zsolt Bogdán’s Faust in The Tragic History of Doctor Faustus at Cluj, Judit Rezes’s role in Katona József Theatre’s Kafka adaptation, Tibor Pálffy’s performance in Othello at Sf-Gheorghe, Leander Haußmann in the Munich Romeo and Juliet, and Lear’s death gesture in Peter Brook’s production.
