First Sentence

"Philosophy and the theatre are in many ways opposites: the one relies on language as its only medium of representation, the other is plurimedial and embeds language in the spatial, situational and visual contexts of moving bodies and objects; the one is abstractly discursive, where the other is the representation of an action, a myth, a plot; the one speaks in propria persona where the other has fictional personae speak for themselves; the one does not need an audience where the other is always public."
