What were the performances of the past like? How did the voices resonate? What were the gestures like? And the rehearsals? What were the efforts and charm of theater from another time? And the audience?
Artists of yesterday, famous and forgotten, wandering and vital, idealists and charlatans, refined and passionate, guide us by the hand through dressing rooms and stages of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, brushing against the lights of variety until they gaze upon cinema.
Through valuable studies, biographies, autobiographies, letters, and memories of theater people, we seek the roots of an art that is at the center of the social, cultural, and political life of communities.
