The Beautiful World of the Greek

"In the Greek theater, everything is beautiful, perfect. The actor on the stage must be so beautiful that we could watch them on the stage for hours and then go home and dream about them.

The actor playing Greek is never scared. Their character is never scared. Destiny taps them on the head and then they go in that direction. If they show their fear, the gods say 'oooo! Look at the poor human who is scared!!!' So the character can never be scared in the Greek tragedy. Even when they are about to be murdered or kill themselves.

Greek theater is not very funny. Maybe we laugh a little bit at this servant who comes in and is an idiot. But the actor in Greek tragedy makes the audience dream. The audience dreams around the actor, the aura of the beautiful actor on the stage. So the actor can never bend their body and break their beautiful aura. The actor is tall and strong.

In this scene, Antigone comes onto the stage and tels Creon that she will not follow his command. We must see this Antigone and think that we can remmber her for 2,000 years after. If Antigone is militant, if she thinks she is a police woman, then she is not beautiful. She simply is saying no to Creon. And we watch her and think how beautiful she is. And Creon does not get angry with Antigone. He does not act facist. The actor playing Creon may have the pleasure to yell, to command. But first is the pleasure. On top of the pleasure the actor yells and has good fun to make everyone obey him. And the spectators think how powerful this beautiful man must be. And always in the head of Antigone and Creon is the game "Can I win? Can I beat Creon?" So you move on the stage with the tactic of the game, to beat each other. To be more powerful, more beautiful. And if you bend your body and wave like a facist, we will never remember you. If you are still, if you are beautiful, then the audience can dream around you. A lot of things can happen in their imagination around your aura."
