Jean Renaudie: Ivry sur Seine Housing

Hermann Nitsch: Das Orgien Mysterien Theater

 

 

 IF IT CAN BE SAID THAT ALL OF CREATION IS MY BODY, IT CAN ALSO BE SAID THAT BEING THAT WHICH PORTRAYS ITSELF IS THEATRE, THE DRAMA OF THE WORLD’S GENESIS AS IT OCCURS, THE CREATION OF BEING. EVEN SO, LIFE BUILT ITSELF ARENAS, CULT SITES, TEMPLES AND CHURCHES, WHERE MASSES OF THE THEATRICAL, OF THE DRAMATIC ARE CELEBRATED. THROUGH THEATRE, BEING SHOULD CARVE ITSELF OUT IN A CONCENTRATED, ESSENTIAL WAY, BRINGING ITSELF INTO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HUMAN BEINGS. TRIUMPH OF THEATRE. — Nitsch
