The classical world inherited from the Greeks has accustomed us to living in an ordered world, a world where everything is separated, hierarchical, in its place. The theater with its heavy curtain is itself based on this principle of separation between the stage and the room, between the visible and the invisible, between the roles and functions of each person…
Separation imposed on us a simplified model of the world. However, reality is chaotic, turbulent, ordered certainly, but in a complex way. And the separation, which until then shaped our conception of reality, today gives way everywhere in the face of the evidence of inseparation. Science teaches it to us, the globalization of the economy brings it to life, the internet and communication links materialize it, ecology and the necessary solidarity that it induces impose it on us.
Our historical period is characterized by a logic of interdependence and generalized interrelation.
What if we shared a new sensory experience: that of a space without hierarchy, an inseparate space where everything, you, us, things, time, the outside, the inside, words, thought, the velvet of armchairs, the smile of an usher, the dust in the air, the slamming of a door, the suppleness of the floor, the death of the tragedian, would be on the same plane, linked and responding to each other
What if, like explorers freed from the codes and constraints of an old model, we set out to discover another form of reality, that of inseparation? Then, overcome by astonishment, we would perhaps discover a theater like we have never seen before. Way to share together a new image of the world.
And what do we need most today, if not a new image of the world?
