HUMAN STATUES

The audience reactions are differents: many of them needs to touch the actor to know if it,s real or not; others try to search contact with his eyes. They look the statues and makes gestures and winks to see if the actor moves. Others, simply do not understand it as art and pass by, indifferent. The least.
But the magic appears when the actor becomes a subject in the public eye, and, as a kind of a mirror, it looks back at him for what he is interpreting.
The actor, to transfer feelings, is a subject in the public eye, thus becomes a living work. In short, the living statue transcends the limits of the work of art, ceases to be material for to be human subject and interact with the public. Decroux, creator of corporeal mime, saids that: “the body represents the invisible: emotions, trends, questions, thoughts”.
