Slava Polunin: I LOVE THE THEATRE

 

that grows out of dreams and fairy-tales,

a theatre that is magically ritual and spectacularly festive,

a theatre arising from images and gestures, from play and imagination,

a theatre where spectators and actors create together,

a theatre of hopes and dreams, suffused with solitude and longing, premonitions and disillusions,

a theatre that is like a joyful bridal procession, where I attempt to "wed" all the facets of life,

a theatre on the edge between art and life, tragedy and comedy, absurdity and naivety, cruelty and tenderness,

a theatre that is constantly changing, that thrives on spontaneous improvisation and dearly respects tradition,

a theatre that eludes certainty and definiteness, which attempt to usurp its freedom.

(English translation by Pierre Skorov)
