Evolution of the art of acting in the late 18th and the early 19th in the context of social changes and modernist trend
Abstract
The article attempts to identify the origins of actors’ specific status in modern theater and society. In parallel with the process of the director-centered theater formation in the late 18th and the early 19th, a new actor’s status was forming beyond directing. Development of a role on stage into the role in life is demonstrated by the example of the greatest actresses of that time, Sarah Bernhardt, Eleonora Duse, Vera Komissarzhevskaya, Ida Rubinstein. At the same time, each of the outstanding actresses develops her own way of acting based on specific artistic models.
