PERFORMER
A COMMENT
Keywords:
Performer, Grotowski, commentAbstract
Performer is a text that, for various reasons, occupies a very particular place in Grotowski's work: perhaps because it is the last document of the master and has been sculpted, for that reason, word of the word, or because, this time, the master is not limited to speak of something that he has experienced, but he delineates a kind of ideal, or, moreover, because its content concerns not only a possible becoming of the actor and the theater, but proposes a reflection, in a sense "final", about the potentialities peculiar to the human condition, potentialities that can be completely developed with the aid of the performative art, here carefully redefined. This comment was first published in 2006 and then on other occasions and
contexts. Here is proposed a rereading that adds some clarifications and quotes. The reference text - Performer - is that elaborated by the curators of the Works of Jerzy Grotowski, until then edited in Poland and Italy.
