Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a reflection on the acting as a complex phenomenon. The author distinguishes between the emphasis put on the character (realism) and the emphasis put on the role (theatricality). What an actor should find is a “luxury” balance, a formula borrowed from Barba, or the luxury of balance, such as the author of this article interprets it taking as a starting point his experience with David Zinder or Matthias Langhoff.
