00:00You know, there's always this terrible moment at the beginning of everything when people come together and all of them
00:07are saying, what the hell is it about? What are we doing here? Why are we here?
00:11And here it's to explore something that very few people really see as being a true and almost impossible challenge,
00:23which is making theatre that is real, that is alive, that is alive at every moment, that touches one, and
00:33in which one's hold doesn't let one go.
00:37Over the years, people have been plaguing me with requests, first of all, to come to a rehearsal, and then
00:46when I say no, they say, but I'll be like a fly on the wall, and I say, well, that's
00:51even worse, because a fly is really irritating, and then they say, above all, we need to come to a
00:58rehearsal to see your exercises.
01:00This is what we're going to try to explore using this image, which we discovered over years of experimenting with
01:08different exercises, of the tightrope.
01:12The tightrope, which has a demand, something in the imagination has to be true and real, and it has to
01:23take you from here to here in a way that's all the time alive and interesting.
01:27This is what we're going to do.
01:28Thank you.
