Summary/Abstract: Undergone spectacular changes within post-dramatic theatre, the understanding of what means the dancer corporeality supports a spectacular reversal. From vital dance, expansive, based on movement pushed to flight and float, it reaches the tendency of transforming the actor-dancer into an object of contemplation, other than the traditional one. It comes to a statutory body that leaves the viewer to admire the attitude and noble picture. In post-postmodern theatre, the companies promoting new physicality in Dance art enjoy great interest. There are so-called "living sculptures", which certifies the specific inclination of the new postdramatic theater to metamorphose living body in an organic theatrical body.
