"I am a subject that is a head, not a complement of a chicken that has no head. The subject has become the passive observer, the spectator, waiting for the curtains to fall like the guillotine. Artaud said theater can exist without the text—the production has to liberate itself from literature-and it did liberate itself—it became self-sufficient—it became a conjugation."
