Vsevolod Meyerhold
I want to burn with the spirit of the times. I want all servants of the stage to recognize their lofty destiny. I am disturbed at my comrades' failure to rise above narrow caste interests which are alien to the interests of society at large. Yes, the theatre can play an enormous part in the transformation of the whole of existence
The art of the theatre doesn't progress, but only changes its means of expression, depending upon the character of the period, its ideas, psychology, technology, architecture, its style. We shouldn't forget conventions change. In life we easily sense the falsity of antiquated conventions, but in the theatre we often applaud them out of habit.
