Je vous demander

Monsieur Le Professeur,

This way of learning Greek Tragedy....everything is perfect. The actors must be godlike on the stage. Everything is the opposite of natural- lyrical, elegant, profound...

There is no smallness- characters are never arrogant or militant. They are first and always beautiful.

Why do we learn Greek Tragedy this way? Life is not like this. Life is not elegant and noble. It is dirty, nasty, horrible. All of the time. So why play with this world, the world of the Greek?
..........
If only to learn to make on the stage worlds that are not like life. A world where we do not recognize the pharmacist and the horrible hairdresser with her dog who poos on the floor of the salon. The actor has a special aura that allows the audience to dream around them. The audience dreams around them the dream of the Greek Tragedy. Another world.

But the audience's dream is destroyed if you enter on the stage with your shitty natural behavior. If you remind the audience that you are human with your voice that sounds like the rabbit fart. You know the rabbit that farts and you cannot hear it? It is just a little poof of air. Boeuf..like that. And then the rabbit thinks to itself "Oh I have farted. Now I am tired for the rest of the day." If you come on stage with this kind of voice the audience cannot love you. Or if you have the voice of the little cat whos balls were cut off "ooooOOOOoooh my ballls my balls oooOOOOOooooo." This stuff is the shitty stuff. Never can you be an actor if you have this kind of voice on the stage because it is too small. And if you are small on the stage. If you are nervous, if you have the shitty voice, if you bend your body and break your aura...for sure, never can you be an actor. Or maybe you are an actor in Manchester bed and breakfast. Everymorning you eat the outmeal. Horrible.
