Abstract
Pedro Pérez-Guillon (Santiago, Chile, 1983), professor of art and architecture at the Catholic University of Temuco (Araucania), interviewed Peter Brook about the mysterious process of artistic creation. In this exchange, which is focused on Western thought on art and artistic creation, but also on millenary Eastern thought and the presence of spirituality in the artist, Peter Brook refers to his travels in the East, where he followed almost the same itinerary as that of Georges Gurdjieff, who inspired his film Encounters with remarkable men. The experiences and knowledge acquired during these different trips and stays in the East, as well as his own work on theater and cinema, feed this interview conducted in the framework of the Academy of Arts of New York (2016) and published today for the first time thanks to Sens Public. The adjustment of the original text in English and its translation into French and Spanish was provided by Chantal Waszilewska and Roberto Gac, in collaboration with Pedro Pérez-Guillon.

Résumé
Pedro Pérez-Guillon (Santiago du Chili, 1983), professeur d’art et d’architecture à l’Université Catholique de Temuco (Araucanie), s’est entretenu avec Peter Brook à propos du processus toujours mystérieux de la création artistique. Dans cet échange, où il est largement question de la pensée occidentale sur l’art et la création artistique, mais aussi sur la pensée orientale millénaire et sur la présence de la spiritualité chez l’artiste, Peter Brook fait référence à ses voyages en Orient, où il suivit à peu près le même itinéraire que celui de Georges Gurdjieff, dont il s’inspira pour son film Rencontres avec des hommes remarquables. Les expériences et les connaissances acquises au cours de ces différents voyages et séjours, autant que sa démarche d’homme de théâtre et de cinéma, nourrissent cet entretien réalisé dans le cadre de l’Academy of Arts of New York (2016) et publié aujourd’hui pour la première fois grâce à Sens Public. La mise au point du texte original en anglais et sa traduction en français et en espagnol a été réalisée par Chantal Waszilewska et Roberto Gac, en collaboration avec Pedro Pérez-Guillon.
