DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His films obsessively examine acting, theatricality, and the performative nature of human relationships and identity.

 Federico Fellini Italy

He celebrates cinema as spectacle and performance, blending reality with theatrical artifice to explore the performative aspects of existence.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

His works interrogate performance, authenticity, and the actor's body as a site of artistic and emotional extremity.
