If you want to an actor, you should face some difficulties. One of them is naming yourself as an actor. We offer you an experiment: three actors who do not have professional acting education, under the supervision of a curator, will create a verbite performance about the actor’s existence and self-determination. “Aсt of myself” is a performance that gives each performer the opportunity to go through the personal way of accepting her or his acting nature. The performance is created on the basis of interviews with professional actors. Using artistic elements, fragments of interviews and discussions line we create a story that begins from the point A - feeling like an impostor to point B - accepting yourself as an actor or actress.
