Abstract
Branko Gavella was one of the most important theater directors and pedagogues of Croatian theater. With his status he has also imposed himself as a creator of acting system. However, it has for too long been believed, even since today, that his directing method represented also the acting method. Besides, as a philosophically formed intellectual, he deliberated both drama and theater also as a deep spiritual activity. The pattern put in that way created a mytheme about Gavella’s acting system as of something self understood. A whole range of researchers of Gavella’s heritage have talked about a certain justification of that mytheme. However, this paper evidently shows that Gavella has not left behind any concrete instructions about the art of acting.
