Summary/Abstract: The research project “Ingmar Bergman’s Persona. An Applied Investigation of Actorial Processuality” proposes an innovative exploration of the mechanisms of constructing, transferring, and deactivating a character in contemporary acting, using a practice-based research methodology. The study aims to generate a set of pedagogical and artistic tools related to entering a character and exiting it instantaneously, in the context of small cast productions and the contemporary need for increased actor versatility. The article seeks to analyze the structure of the project, its interdisciplinary directions, and the novelty of the approach in relation to national and international research. It is also a reflection of the working dynamics within an artistic laboratory, illustrating how, at times, research objectives can produce unexpected outcomes that enrich a field of knowledge.
