The Woman Watching

Paola Capriolo

4.9/5 (18400 ratings)

Description:What is the nature of the actor's mask? At what point do performer and performance merge? Vulpius, a much admired young actor in a provincial rep company, develops an obsession with an unknown spectator whose gaze seems only for him, at first kindling fresh fervour in his mastery of each role, then leaving him a slave to artistic perfection. With philosophical elegance and a macabre sense of comedy, Paola Capriolo draws the reader deep into this obsession, exploring the most compelling recesses of the theatrical experience where ritual and stylisation dominate. Dark questions emerge about the power of representation and the dangers of sacrificing life to art.
