It is my assertion that THEATRE can be used in clever, inspiring, and exciting ways – to explore our shared languages and share what must be explored.
Some evocative quotes about theatre:
“We’re actors — we’re the opposite of people!” ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” ― William Shakespeare, As You Like It
“I cannot conceive any work of art as having a separate existence from life itself.” ― Antonin Artaud, The Theater and Its Double
“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” ― Oscar Wilde
And some powerful quotes about language:
“To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” ―Frantz Fanon
“Language is the most massive and inclusive art we know, a mountainous and anonymous work of unconscious generations.” ― Edward Sapir, Language: an Introduction to the Study of Speech
“Language is a social art.” ― Willard Van Orman Quine, Word and Object
