...acting' must be created in the space in the head, a new form of humanity for the future which confronts the audience, for the struggle in the present: that's the connection between the space of the stage and the space of the brain. The space stage is limitless because you can artistically extend it to infinity, your fingernail can be the place of armies: the head is limitless because imagination has speculation constantly encroaches on its ignorance.
