About this item
Product Description
Peter Brook is one of the world's most respected and revolutionary directors of contemporary theatre. To help his actors achieve extraordinary performances, he has a special exercise, 'the Tightrope,' that evolved over decades of experimentation and practice into a process of transformation that revitalizes the theatrical experience for actor and audience alike. In this unique film, director Simon Brook - Peter's son - reveals how 'the Tightrope' works its dramatic alchemy.
Review
"A concise new documentary offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes...the audience has a sense of witnessing intimate moments rather than watching a performance. Peter Brook's interest has always been in the ritual roots and mythical resonances of the theater, and the idea of acting he articulates in 'The Tightrope' has a primal, even mystical tenor. He speaks of access to a collective brain, of grasping the essence of time and of the ways the theater can offer a heightened experience of life." --A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"CRITICS' PICK! For the past 50-plus years, Brook refused to allow rehearsals to be filmed. 'The Tightrope', however, changes this. Throughout the film Brook offers himself as a teacher whose goal is to help his students discover brief, ephemeral moments of bliss." --Aaron Cutler, The Village Voice
"'The Tightrope' is one heck of a master-class; it's also one really revealing window into why Peter Brook's legend in the theater is such a large one." --Trey Graham, Here and Now on NPR
