The history of the West has been constructed on a remarkable base, the nearly total absence of a "philosophy of the body." The acceptance and birth of this philosophy was a very slow (Le Goff and Truong 2003) and complex (Foucault 1978) process that testified to the global distrust felt by the ideology and the religions of the West towards that threatening and corrupting instrument called physicality. During recent decades, however, a new interdisciplinary combination of philosophy, psychoanalysis and neuroscientific studies has witnessed the resurrection of this body. Theodoros Terzopoulos was one of the first practitioners both to introduce this energetic climate on stage and to apply it to the staging of classical texts. His productions introduced a bio-energetic methodology that radically questioned the perennial presuppositions of the "phallogocentric" West and its "metaphysics of presence.
