Learning outcomes

An introduction to the theoretical and methodological instruments offered by performing arts, through the analysis of specific issues of the history of theatre.

Program

Together with other playwrights of the period, Bontempelli seems to use the concept of human marionette to outline the characteristics of a new type of actor and of his ideal relationship with the public. An interpreter who, without preconceived styles or his own defined acting technique, can be guided like a puppet by a director, an interpreter extremely flexible and versatile to dress up any part entrusted to him.
