“A false
symbol is soft and vague: a true symbol is hard and clear.[…] a true symbol
is specific, it is the only form a certain truth can take. […] We get
nowhere if we expect to be told what they mean, yet each one has a relation
with us we can’t deny. If we accept this, the symbol opens in us a great
and wondering O.”
I CAN take any empty space and call it a
bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching
him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged.
