"Theatre (is) the art of
looking at ourselves
...Theatre should be
happiness; it should help
us to learn about our times and ourselves. We should know the world we live in,
the better to change it.
Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and
can also be a means of transforming society.
Theatre can help us build
our future instead of just waiting for it."
