00:00Last year in our program we concentrated on the body, the presence of the actor, and poetry beyond narrative, and
00:06I want to continue that exploration in this coming year's edition.
00:10However, rather than presenting people whose work I previously knew, this year we have invited pieces from beyond Western commercial
00:20and institutional theater circles.
00:24The lack of familiarity allows us to return to the roots of theater, to reawaken the essential contact between artist
00:33and spectator.
00:35For me, the strength and uniqueness of theater, the total art form, is its directness, ritual, and human mating.
00:46In this truth-challenged world, we have to return to taking our understanding and engagement from direct perception.
