A verdade no olhar do ator que mente

Abstract

The presence and the work of actors on a film scene are different from their presence and work as they are thought for theatrical purposes. Faced with the possibility of experimenting with common procedures between the two fields, the actor determines a very particular space, thinks of ways of interacting with the audience, and shapes the role-playing proposed by the specificities of the realization project in cinema or theater. The problematized truth through the presence of the actor distinguishes unlimited ways of understanding their work in these two fields. This article approaches this dialogue between cinema, theater, and literature, taking as object of analysis the realization of a film, simultaneously to a theatrical play, both inspired by the short-story A Joke, by Anton Chekhov.
