Mario Mattia Giorgetti said: „What was it Strehler expected from theatre? I can retrieve his words to the actors in my 50 years old notes: Theatre for me is like water for the fish: it’s a way of loving things, of loving the world, of loving our peers. And I think about everything else through theatre. I see politics through theatre, I see culture, I see mankind”.
