Abstract
Photography and theatre represent two distinct yet closely neighboring worlds. They live in a perennial state of contradiction: the theatre, which is consumed in its making and is renewed with each performance, in photography seems to deny its profound transitory nature; when photography appears in the space of the theatre, it betrays its vocation to reality, and becomes contaminated with fiction. Yet, beyond this apparent irreconcilability, or perhaps thanks to it, thetre and photography have, throughout history, formed a dense, problematic but extremely rich in stimuli and applications relationship from stage photography in the strict sense, to the different forms of “staging” and “performance”, which today make it a particularly effective research field, as well as one of the main nodes for the study of photography and its artistic and social practices. This volume collects the contributions of the conference held in San Miniato on 21 October 2006, on the occasion of the Occhi di Scena Festival on Stage photography and represents a first significant attempt to initiate a comparison between scholars of different disciplines in order to establish a ground common reflection and research.
