" The theater, which is interested and I am trying to make, is a theater that one projection ' provides that the viewer a ' space ' offers, in which he can make a picture in freedom itself. Theater is, for me, not a place where you will find answers, but a place where it is possible to visit stories, our inner, forgotten stories again, a place where the viewer to find the unknown access - the is, from the forgotten him. To enable this, the theater needs its counterpart, its paradox: to present something and to be something else at the same time. For example, Cézanne said when he painted apples: With an apple I will astonish Paris move ' His subject is not the apple ', its subject, painting '. . The same applies to the theater: one based on a story, and comes behind the importance of theater. "
