This article contemplates fundamental questions that support the postdoctoral project The character as exercise of difference: perspectives for the physical actions of Stanislavski, which I am developing at the University of Lisbon (Center for Theater Studies). The study recognizes in the Russian “system” responses to one of the most complex longings of the contemporary actor: to make the character, even in a dramatic context, an exercise of subjectivity. Some fundamental elements proposed by Constantin Stanislavski are Commented and revised from contemporary thinking as “baits” for the experience: a psychophysical state produced by the ambivalent tension between, on the one hand, the attention of the actor to the fulfillment of a score of actions and, on the other, what is produced in him by the subjectifying forces that cross this same score.
