Resumo: the actor-character relationship is one of the pillars of the film acting. Our objective is to think of relations between these enunciative instances that extrapolate a symbiosis relation, in which the former tries to “transform” into the second, classic model of acting in the theater and in the cinema. We propose to investigate strategies of staging where actor and character are united by the idea of total amalgam, by being united by a determinant common physical or psychological condition. To that end, we used the methodology of the acting studies, seeking to develop an aesthetic analysis about processes and products of action (gestures, body posture) in films in which actor-characters are affected by some type of special condition (dwarfism, congenital malformation, Down syndrome, deafness or intellectual disability), which means that there is an essential interdependence between representation and referent. Such procedures diverge from the traditional idea of coupling or imitation, characteristic of transparent mimesis. The hypothesis is that the total amalgam actor-character is a procedure, experimental, rarely achieved in commercial cinema, as to the few examples of films cited here can attest.

Nuestro objetivo es pensar relaciones entre esas instancias enunciativas que extrapolan una relación de simbiosis, en la que la primera intenta transformarse en la segunda, modelo clásico de actuación en el teatro y en el cine. Proponemos investigar estrategias de escenificación donde actor y personaje están unidos por la idea de la amalgama total, por unirse por una condición física o psicológica común determinante. Para ello, utilizamos la metodología de los estudios atorales, buscando desarrollar un análisis estético sobre procesos y productos de actuación (gestos, postura corporal) en películas en las cuales actores-personajes son acometidos por algún tipo de condición especial (enanismo, malformación congénita, Síndrome de malnutrición, Down, sordera o deficiencia intelectual) lo que hace que haya interdependencia esencial entre representación y referente. Estos procedimientos difieren de la idea tradicional de acoplamiento o de imitación, característica de la mímesis transparente. La hipótesis que se defiende es que la amalgama total actor-personaje es un procedimiento, experimental, pocas veces alcanzado en el cine de vertiente comercial, como pueden atestiguar los pocos ejemplos de películas aquí citadas.a relação ator-personagem é um dos pilares da prática atoral.
