How?
Why do I do theatre?
Yes, I have often wondered this, too.
And the only answer that I could make
so far you will no doubt finding a discouraging banality.
Because the stage is one of the places
in the world where I am happy.
But note that this reflection, after all,
is less trivial than it seems.
Happiness is an original activity today, after all.
The evidence is that we have a tendency to hide its
pursuit. To see it as a sort of pink ballet
for which we must feel defective.
On this, at least everyone is on a consensus.
I often read, under austere pens, that men of
action, having given up public life
take their own refuge when they are
secluded in private life.
There's a bit of contempt, don't you find?;
I mean, in terms that I mentioned
of refuge or shelter.
And with shelter, one does not
go without that other thing: foolishness.

English: 
for my part, on the contrary I know that,
much of men take refuge in public life
to escape their private life.
For example, the powerful ones have
usually been unsuccessful in happiness;
despite not being tender-hearted.
So, where was I? Yes, happiness.
Yes, happiness during these days is like
a crime of social law.
You never admit to it.
Don't you ever speak like that, without
thinking of evil, perfectly well:
'I am happy'. because, immediately,
between through others' lips,
you will have found your condemnation.
'Ah, you're happy, huh? and what do
you make of the orphans of kashmir?'
The lepers which in New Zealand,
who are not happy as you are.
Yes, what should I do for lepers?
Like our friend Ionesco says:
'How to get rid of it?'
And immediately, Voila!
We are sad same as toothpicks.
nevertheless, I rather have the

English: 
strong and happy to help people
in misfortune.
A person who canceled his life
and succumbs beneath his own
burden, can't help anyone.
Contradictionally, the person who
dominates his own life,
only he can be truly generous
and give effectively.
For example, I have known a man
who don't love his woman.
Which is not a good thing.
And he was desperate. Better!
And suddenly, when the day he decided
to devote himself completely
to his wife, by compassion,
and to sacrifice himself to her came,
the life of this poor woman,
became a real hell after that;
although swe was endurable until then.
Her husband was having seen the
sacrifice and the astonishing devotion.
So, in these days, many people love less
because of their dedication of themselves
all the more to humanity.
Her morose lovers, the worst one is
this husband, not the best.
Surprise. All in all, the world

English: 
looks bad. Affixing the happiness is
difficult in there, particularly,
for who had been a writer.
However, I try not to be
influenced, personally.
I am keeping my respecet about happiness
and happy people and I try, par hygeine,
to find myself as usually as possible
at one of the places of my happiness.
I mean: the theatre.
This one has lasted for tweny years,
unlike other pleasures.
I believe, I could not do without it, even if I want to.
