—John Berger (b. 1926)
“The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything—gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness—rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations.... To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“... the heart monitor,
the death cricket bleeping.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
