“How can we bring to the theatre, to an artificial situation, that which in real life is so strong that when we try to make it appear in front of an audience, it distorts into a parody of itself, becomes but a mute ghost?... It is as if one should forget aesthetic categories and address oneself to the science of bios, of life.”
- Eugenio Barba
