This text is a personal testimony in which Theatre Anthropology emerges not only as a theory of the actor, but as a way of being in the world. Through the account of a journey – from the first steps in the profession to the transformative experience of the ISTA in 1994 in Londrina, Brazil – it weaves a path of discovery that finds in Teatro de Los Andes in Bolivia a fertile ground for dialogue between technique and culture, body and landscape, memory and creation.
