description This paper addresses the issue of the actor's work with the aidof elements from neurosciences and philosophy. It presents texts by Horace in which he gives indications to actors and speakers. Suchassumptions are elaborated with texts by Diderot and Copeau in orderto raise comprehensions about the emotions and more rational tasks of the actor's work.
