THE SECRET ART OF THE PERFORMER 2022

Exclusive worldwide residency opportunity
of creation and daily work directly with
Eugenio Barba and Julia Varley
Theme: The Protoelements of Creativity

In THE SECREAT ART OF THE ACTOR, Eugenio Barba proposes to meet and work daily with a small select group of artists from different traditions and theatrical natures, in the same way that he works with his Odin Teatret actors throughout these 58 years of existence of the group. .

It has been 15 years and more than 450 artists from various parts of the world, including actresses and actors, directors and academics selected to form a restricted group of just 16 actors and 10 observers who live and practice directly with the father of Theatre Anthropology, in search for innovative dramaturgical strategies, psychophysical and vocal training that add up to an opportunity for recycling and authorial creation, provoked and directed by Eugenio Barba and Julia Varley.

This year's immersion takes place from 12/11 to 12/15 in Brasília, in an invigorating atmosphere, in the middle of nature and with exquisite accommodation and food included. A return to face-to-face work, after two years of reinvention and resistance in the online version. Through digital platforms, the tradition was maintained and was able to reach more artists.

Conceived by the director of the Cia. YinsPiração, Luciana Martuchelli, and by Eugenio Barba, the annual and unique event of this nature is a private initiative in partnership with the International School of Theatre Anthropology and the Fondazione Barba Varley.
