I've always been suspicious of collective truths. - Eugène Ionesco

Beckett shows death; his people are in dustbins or waiting for God. (Beckett will be cross with me for mentioning God, but never mind.) Similarly, in my play The New Tenant, there is no speech, or rather, the speeches are given to the Janitor. The Tenant just suffocates beneath proliferating furniture and objects — which is a symbol of death. There were no longer words being spoken, but images being visualized. We achieved it above all by the dislocation of language. … Beckett destroys language with silence. I do it with too much language, with characters talking at random, and by inventing words.

Toată problema prepoporanistă a lui Alecu Russo, problema specificului românesc, a formelor goale ale culturii, teoria pseudomorfozelor culturii, a simbolismului ce revelează el singur adevăratul nostru spirit: cel latin, a sămănătorismului ce revelează el singur adevăratul nostru spirit: cel rural, a ortodoxismului ce revelează el singur adevăratul nostru spirit: cel slav, şi alte bâjbâieli, îmi aminteşte povestea aceluia care nu ştia dacă el sau frate-său mai e viu pentru că unul din ei — nu se ştie care — s-a înecat în baie.

I have no ideas before I write a play. I have them when I have finished it ... I believe that aritistic creation is spontaneous. It is for me.
