The angle of aberrations
What is your definition of a tragic actor?
He is a frustrated stammerer. Each syllable that he speaks with wonder carries within it the humanity of someone who has been silenced. A tragic actor knows by heart the dizziness which words create when they jostle around the doorway.
This is wild talk. I daren’t imagine the strange methods you teach.
It’s true. I don’t teach order, or prudence, or rebellion. I teach another way of looking, like an owl at dawn, an owl which always ponders whether to look at the rising sun or the earth which grows bright, an owl which has never known exactly where to look and has always thought ‘If I look at the rising sun, doubtless I won’t see the cow as it grows bright. If I look too much at the cow, I won’t appreciate its beauty in the light of dawn’. I teach an impossibility of looking: as if always, somewhere else, another image was going to appear. To simplify, I will tell you: I teach the angle of aberrations.
Quesaco?
You know that the angle of aberrations is an optical effect, by which you perceive a star in a slightly different position from its true position, because of the time light takes to reach us and the rotation of the earth. An actor or even a writer or director who does not feel his work was nourished by its uncertain place in the universe would be a disaster. I teach a place which is situated somewhere between the speed of light and the rotation of the earth.
What do you expect from all that?
Humour. I teach my students that they are children of the speed of light and the rotation of the earth, and that this rotation can vary by 0.001 of a second each year because of the winds which accelerate or decelerate the movement. I teach that the place of the actor is situated somewhere at the precise spot which the violent winds will soon move. You teach wind?
I’d be pleased if I could. Let’s just say I’m working at it...
