This book addresses Jerzy Grotowski’s question: "How does the actor touch the untouchable?" Through phenomenology, it explores sensory, kinesthetic, and emotional engagement in acting. Using first-person accounts across various styles, from Beckett to contemporary performances, it examines how phenomenology informs training, performance, directing, and teaching. Zarrilli, drawing from extensive international experience, offers a profound exploration of acting practices and reflective methodologies.
