I actually waited until the theatre was empty and took one step onto the stage, feeling at the same time absurd, thrilled, resolute. Three years later, I was studying acting in New York. And a year after that, I happened upon Richard Foreman’s Ontological-Hysteric Theater and it was a similar transcendent revelation.
