ABSTRACT Theatre artists and philosophers all over the centuries have often pointed out the existence of two levels within every phenomenon; we call this thought “Dualism”. During the last centuries, many have focused on a specific, although traditional, example of dualism, which envisions a superior, transcendent reality – that is not connected to ours -. The performer can create such a connection, through her work on “verticality”, touching the superior invisible realm, which must then descend back to our everyday dimension. This article analyses one of the main tools used in order to set up a connection between these two dimensions, that is attention, according in particular to one of the main thinkers of the twentieth century: Simone Weil. In this regard, the author explores the last pedagogical work of French actor and theatre pedagogue Louis Jouvet and the last period of research by Jerzy Grotowski and his pupils, both focused on that “attention” and “descending way”, which works on the same line of what is better known as “Verticality”. In the second part, Campo comments on Weil’s selected passages.

西蒙娜·威尔和戏剧：从关注到下降的方式

摘要 几个世纪以来的戏剧艺术家和哲学家经常指出，每一种现象都存在两个层次；我们称这种思想为“二元论”。在过去的几个世纪里，许多人专注于二元论的一个特定但传统的例子，它设想了一个与我们无关的优越、超然的现实。表演者可以通过她在“垂直”方面的作品创造这样一种联系，触及更高的无形领域，然后又回到我们日常的维度。本文分析了用于在这两个维度之间建立联系的主要工具之一，即注意力，特别是根据 20 世纪的主要思想家之一西蒙娜·威尔（Simone Weil）的说法。在这方面，作者探讨了法国演员和戏剧教育家 Louis Jouvet 的最后教学工作以及 Jerzy Grotowski 和他的学生的最后一段时间的研究，都集中在“注意力”和“下降方式”上，这与更为人所知的是“垂直度”。在第二部分，Campo 评论了 Weil 的精选段落。
