Theatre & Alchemy in Barcelona - Paul Ferguson - 04-14-2024
"The three fundamental principles of alchemy (tria prima), namely mercury, sulphur, and salt, which the 16th-century physician and occultist Paracelsus associated with the soul, spirit, and body can be seen as corresponding to three schools of theatre:
1. The genius of insight and improvisation as found in figures such as Hermes or Harlequin.
2. The actor’s presence, charisma, and emotional authenticity.
3. The distillation and refinement of theatrical interpretation as found in conservatories."
