Synopsis

Christopher Innes aporta dos elementos para la concepción tradicional del el primero sería su transformación en un laboratorio que explora de manera directa la naturaleza de la actuación, así como el vínculo entre actor y público; el segundo destaca su primitivismo mediante la irracionalidad, la indagación de estados oníricos y la adopción de modelos dramáticos arcaicos con base en presupuestos mitológicos y ritos tribales.
