ABSTRACT

Like all stories, it's a pack of lies that tries to reach out to us and allow us to experience some kind of human truth. Of course it depends on the skills of writers, directors, actors, composers, designers. But it also depends on the creative skills of the audience, those skills of the imagination that allow all of us to leap into other minds and other worlds, skills that are at once quite natural, straight-forward, commonplace and quite, quite amazing.
