Remember Me (2013)
“Just as he had given up hope, the world seemed to open up again like a great submarine shell. He could not know it was only to capture the diver for the pearl. He sat alone in the Court Theatre in Munich. The play was Hugo’s Marion de Lorme.
He was excited, for only in the theatre can we participate in the possible. That is the hold the theatre has on us. Tired of the improbabilities of everyday life, where events begin to die as soon as we enter upon them, we turn for reassurance to the st...age, where we may watch things happen in our brains, the way they do before we act. On the stage we may enjoy the consequences of actions we no longer dare to undertake. There we can repeat our mistakes without penalty, for if we grow bored we may always leave and come again, whereas if we grow bored with life we may leave it only once. We may come and go as we wish, for only the actors know they are condemned to repeat themselves night after night. They bear the burden of self-knowledge for us, so that as we watch them every experience becomes unique, as it should be.MoreLess
