Abstract
The performance is an artistic phenomenon which has specific characteristics that make order inquiry theoretical and aesthetic appreciation. However, the traditional conception with which it has been understood for much of the history of theatre in the West dependent it on outside elucidation parameters. Largely, dismissal of the action as artistic activity, is dependent on the actor's subject as mere “interpreter”, and dualistic conception of the body associated with the same characterization. In this paper, we discuss these assumptions in order to overcome them critically, because we believe that this task is essential, with a view to the further elaboration of a theory of the actor, sustained by specific parameters.
