EPIGRAPH: In the circle of light on the stage in the midst of darkness, you have the sensation of being entirely alone... This is called solitude in public...
During a performance, before an audience of thousands, you can always enclose yourself in this circle, like a snail in its shell.... You can carry it wherever you go.
