ABSTRACT
It is necessary to see ourselves within the patterns of history. The artist is not so concerned with the evolution of mankind, but the evolution of oneself. This is something that you must be concerned with as an artist and as a human being. The theme and literary work that I choose as a reference point for each new performance has to be explained within the context of where we were in that specific moment of time in our lives and our history. All the material which I refer to may seem very exotic and without any relation to our own problems. For example, the historical texts of Apuleius’ The Golden Ass and The Life of the Archpriest Avvakum. But these books were reflecting situations which occurred in contemporary life.
