The distances that separate East from West – the two extremes of the Eurasian continent – are enormous. Yet, since ancient times, the people of Europe and Asia have tried to overcome this remoteness through a network of trade routes known as the Silk Road. The great migrations, the continuous military conquests and the paths relentlessly opened up by merchants have been at the origin of ideological, technical and artistic exchanges, resulting in a fusion of cultures.Among the ceaseless travellers on the routes of the Silk Road, along with soldiers, merchants, messengers, and pilgrims, we find those who earned their living as jugglers, acrobats, musicians, actors and dancers. They were people who brought with them, rooted in their bodies, their own techniques and histories. Through these performers, the ‘fabulous and mysterious Orient’ has exerted an ongoing influence on the art of the theatre in Europe and America. In the same way, especially in modern times, actors and dancers from India, China, Japan, and other Asian countries have drawn inspiration from Western dramatic genres for a renewal of their ancient traditions.A long history of travelling actors moving between East and West has slowly taken shape, and lies at the foundation of our contemporary, professional performative arts. This updated and revised edition of Drama and Performance Between East and West (first published in 1992), traces this history from classical antiquity to the present. The book constitutes the first complete in-depth historiographic inquiry into the subject.

Quels principes techniques ont en commun acteurs et danseurs de diverses culture. En quoi consiste la présence d’un acteur/danseur ? Quelle est la différence entre le comportement physique et mental d’un acteur/danseur sur scène et celui dans sa vie quotidienne ? Est-il possible d’étudier comment se caractérise la force d’attraction d’un acteur/danseur et sa capacité de capturer l’attention du spectateur. Avec l’aide de l’anthropologie théâtrale (étude du comportement biologique et culturel de l’homme en situation de représentation) et plus de huit cent photos, c’est à ces questions que ce livre tente de répondre. Il existe un art secret de l’acteur/danseur. Il existe des « principes qui reviennent » qui sont à la base de sa présence scènique en diverses cultures et époques. Il ne s’agit pas des recettes mais des points de départ qui permettent aux qualités individuelles de devenir, à travers une créativité technique, une expression artistique efficace dans le contexte de l’histoire de chacun.
