00:00In the context of, when I'm speaking about poetry, it shouldn't be taken literally, I'm using it very loosely.
00:07That thing that theater can do that goes beyond something literal.
00:15Everyone is going to find their emotion and their meaning in something that can't quite be,
00:24they don't have a comparable experience necessarily in their life,
00:27where they can just draw a parallel.
00:31It puts you in a place of wonder and mystery.
00:34And that theater is capable of doing that, I think.
00:38And the only word I can find is a certain kind of poetry.
00:42I mean, I think it's interesting, I always think of when T.S. Eliot used to say,
00:49poetry is not a letting of emotion, it's an escape from emotion.
00:54because it really brings you to a kind of logic that's beyond logic
00:59and puts you in touch with the origin of things and the nature of things in your terms,
01:04but not necessarily an act of empathy
01:09or not necessarily a recognition of something from your experience.
01:14That's it.
01:23Thank you.
01:25Thank you.
