Actor

Job Title

Actor.

Job Description

Bruno is a theatre actor. He works on different stages: the street, cafes, offices and theatres. He set up a room at home where he builds his projects and trains his body, mind and memory for his roles, representing blind or sighted people. His main concern on a new stage is security.

Getting the job

He had studied acting before he became blind and decided to hang on to his dream.

Adjustments

Bruno marks the stage’s edges with thread on the floor. He uses a computer, a scanner, a Braille and an ink printer. This allows him to choose from works not yet transcribed to Braille and to handle everything by himself, from the concept to the actual play. During repetitions, he uses his cane and Braille texts.

Quote

You learn to know everything around you with the four remaining senses. Getting to overcome your limits of security frees you, it allows you to break the dark and see clearly around you.
