Summary/Abstract: Teaching in universities seems less and less a way to put different people in live contact with sharing specific knowledge. Activities usually take a technical shape of transmitting information, practices, a know how of a domain, area or expertise. Performance is often excluded. Often, you don’t need the presence of “actors”. But Theatre still keeps the track of a live and ancestral communication tool: the presence. Is this yet enough to cope with the technological milieu we’re living in? Eugenio Barba’s theatre might also be considered from this point of view, of a sense of teaching where director and actor confront themselves with the proliferation of artifacts of the TIC. Who is who in the process of teaching and sharing?
