Exercise

the most valuable asset you've got.


And then try walking on Peter Brook's tightrope.

Survivor

your wonderful vitality

Deep

You have to fetch it - within all the vitality.

Passion Play

it runs through the brush and through the stroke, slowly rising

How

is it possible, baby?!

Free Will

because there is tragedy and comedy and tragicomedy and absurdity and utter nonsense and above all humour



and despair (to overcome)

"You Better

bet your life"


 

the star to every wandering bark

"I Was Young And Strong And Desperate"*

It's not madness nor cowardice nor mere passiveness, lacking gall, it's simply the singular conscience that needs to be sure.

Artist

How one always perceives that one is the last person to be trusted with a job, that things are already lost when one is exactly the one people will turn to. The lost cause, the least to be a champion of whatever. But once the artist has taken it up, the cause will prove worth fighting for.

The Offering

For you and only for you, the ones present,  the audience.



I witnessed him looking in the round,  as if he had just woken up from a dream, a vision and miraculously he had been able to share it with everybody.

It stifles.

The End of History

isn't happening as long as we are still mortal and relate to one another.

How Can You
