peter brook, from "the holy theatre" in the empty space

"The fact that a symbol possesses an indefinite number of aspects does not mean that it is imprecise at all. Indeed it is its reading on an indefinite number of levels which confers on it its extreme precision. Commenting on the theatre of Samuel Beckett, Brook writes:

“Beckett’s plays are symbols in an exact sense of the word. A false symbol is soft and vague: a true symbol is hard and clear. When we say ‘symbolic’ we often mean something drearily obscure: a true symbol is specific, it is the only form a certain truth can take... We get nowhere if we expect to be told what they mean, yet each one has a relation with us we can’t deny. If we accept this, the symbol opens in us a great wondering O.”

~ Peter Brook, 'The Empty Space', cited in 'Peter Brook and Traditional Thought' by Basarab Nicolescu, Gurdjieff International Review.

A stage space has two rules: (1) Anything can happen and (2) Something must happen.
