  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>… The drama of modern art and its public, Everyman after Hiroshima faced with the debris of Dubuffet, the chromatic tumors of Wols, the burlap canvasses, Burri's industrial red-lead on shards of sheet metal, the orchestral blasts of Nono, the “what cannot be said is better left unsaid” of Wittgenstein's anti-philosophy; a drama already dated, if it is true that the levelling-off of taste, the techniques of psycho-control, the establishment of the marketplace in the cultural sphere all threaten to deprive Everyman (and his artist) of any right to tragedy. In this respect <jats:italic>Each In His Own Way</jats:italic> can be presented, today, not at all as a manifesto of Pirandellism, but rather as nothing less than a lyrical consummation without a trace of discursive reasoning, a poetics that is poetry. For someone working in the theatre it has the same value as a page by Mallarmé on poetry would have for a poet.</jats:p>
