The making of a theatre spectacle goes through several sucessive and simultaneous processes until its final realization. Among all elements that compose it, the work of the actor shows itself as fundamental. The stage always was the kingdom of the living body of the actor, despite attempts to withdraw its dominancy. This means that the director needs to know how to conduct his cast so he can create the scene. As much as there are acting techniques, there is one component in the act of directing an actor that goes beyond brute pragmatism. This is called poetic interaction. It was called so because the meeting of the director and the actor should work in the same way that happens when a reader is confronted with a poem. It is a non-rational knowledge, because it causes a holistic and instantaneous apprehension of the event. The process recalls the religious rapture of the mystics in ecstasy and, therefore, can only be understood by a personal way. The director has to be able to evoke the deeper aspects of the artists in the scene. This type of work is not quantifiable and can not be easily recorded by recognized scientific means, because it disobeys the common logic. It is only through dialectical thinking that this kind of understanding can be achieved. The unusual, ambiguous and obscure aspects become part of the discourse demonstrating that this reality is constantly changing. Following Hegel and Lupasco one can perceive that there is an underground movement in the thought and the moments of greater contradiction open space for the poetic process. Poetry is a divine mistery that canot be understood, but can be feeled, and it is possible to recite several ways of its manifestation in art and literature. Great stage directors and theoriticians like Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Brecht, Artaud, Grotowski and Eugenio Barba developed their tecniques and ideas of a pedagogy of the actor that allows to see this poetic activity. A theatrical experiment was conducted by this researcher, as a director, not to prove the thesis, but to promote a testimony. The assembly of the show As you like it comes to provide more material for the discussion of the points raised here. Personal notes on the process are presented together with the opinions of the actors who participated in it.
