According to a number of Anglo-Saxon scholars, François Delsarte’s ideas had repercussions in Russia, in the work of Stanislavski, Vakhtangov and Mikhaïl Tchekhov. The search for correspondences between emotion and gesture implies an organic conceptionof the creative act. From a Soviet/Russian point of view, Delsarte is regarded, however, as the father of a new anthropology of actor-machine. The goal of this article of to shed light on the misunderstandings that distorted the data, and show that in Russia their dissemination happened in ways that modified the manner the Delsarte system was received.
