La Gaia Scienza (Roma): Introduction to the performance of La Gaia Scienza

Extract

We chose this title because we like it. What is proposed here is only a moment of our research. We have analyzed the ways in which, among an infinite number of possibilities, the elements that constitute the language of the theatre may combine: space, time, rhythm, light, sound, objects and the “actor.” The latter, however, is continually attempting to work with language. We cannot help but glance at the uninterrupted flux of reality and notice the bustle of a thousand details all linked in a truly surprising manner to the universal situation. Our gratitude to Nietzche, to Laforgue and others who gave us permission to quote.

As for the rest, the text of our work does not depend as much on words as on concrete stimuli (objects, documents, photographs, slides, verbal material) that each “actor” grasps in its everyday “existing.”
