We take pride in memory, never in oblivion... A leading theater scholar and essayist, Georges Banu has spent decades preserving in his books the fragile memory of theater.
In this fragmentary essay, the author employs the form of an aphorism to reflect with penetrating insight on the notion of oblivion, forgetting, not as the natural enemy of memory, but as a creative process: as the flip side of the same coin.
Fragmentary essays on oblivion based on memories from theater (Ibsen, Chekhov, Stanislavski, Brook, Vitez, Theatre de Complicite, Beckett), as well as from other arts, philosophy, and personal reminiscences from everyday life.
