I want to be everyone. - Altil Rambo.

The stage was born in the dark.

At the beginning of the theatre, the theatre belonged to the night. The spirits rejoice, religious rituals, mythical worship - when the sun sets, the unconscious of humankind is fermented. The day-to-day habits can be put on the stage for the time being, which is to infiltrate a dark matrix that goes beyond the life paradigm.

A toast to the wine god.

The stage is a unconscious fermentation, between reality and fiction, on the ground.

It is neither a sinking pool nor a immersion of reality, and P4 Theater's hollow stage is higher than the ground and is surrounded by thick black curtains, which are a "mystery" in front of the traditional audience. This is not the traditional frame stage, but a closed black container in a dark box.

The black stage is like Gaia, the mother of the earth, who, in silence, acts as a performer and a medium of her own unconscious. It seeks to connect the physical presence of this shore on stage with the unwitting, deep desire for true self on the other side.

Jerzy Grotowski for "The Prince of Faith."

Get on the stage, get out of real life. There's no need to play any fictional role. It's just a re-construction into your own myth. In fleeing the drama of everyday life, the stage has become an exit from which the desire to be confined to real social actors can be released.

"...theatricals are designed to give life to what we suppress... and to better guide it in its direction..." - Alto

Kazuo Ohno.

At the same time, the stage is an entrance. Its magic leads us into a super-realistic dream of freedom. When the shackles are lifted, the rebellion against everyday life is released, and the real self becomes manifest.

"The real theatre... inspires shadows where life continues to crash."

From Alto, to Meyehod, Glotowski, Pina Bosh, Ono-Yao... The physical presence on the stage is becoming our precious weapon in the digital age. Full input of the body, a strong concentration of the spirit, the real combination of energy and spirituality, and a link between people.

Pina Bausch is performing the Mueller Cafe.

Complete the body sacrifice on the stage because the body is eager to perform and to be watched by those from the other side. Theatrical is both liberation and return. Sacrifice those who are taught under the yoke, and then turn to the new, to all the souls that are in common.
