EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Russian actor and theatre innovator, Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky (1863-1938), in the midst of a performance of the Spanish play "Numancia" in the ancient Roman Theatre. The year was 1920, and Stanislavsky, a pioneer of realistic acting, was bringing new life to the classic text penned by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), a renowned Spanish writer and poet. The image, taken by the esteemed Japanese-American photographer, Jos Tamayo (1920-2003), showcases Stanislavsky's intense focus and deep connection to the historical text. The Roman Theatre, with its ancient ruins and rich history, serves as the perfect backdrop for this theatrical moment. "Numancia," a play that tells the story of the last stand of the ancient Celtiberian city against the Roman Empire, holds a special significance for both Stanislavsky and Cervantes. For Stanislavsky, it represented a chance to explore the depths of human emotion and the power of theatre to transport audiences to another time and place. For Cervantes, it was a testament to the enduring relevance of history and the human spirit. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the past and the power of art to bridge cultural divides. The image of Stanislavsky, lost in the moment, brings to life the words of Cervantes and transports us to a time when the Roman Theatre was once again filled with the sounds of laughter, tears, and the collective imagination of an audience.
