Theatre is created by the environment

Rozmowa przeprowadzona z Eugenio Barbą 21 maja 2016, podczas wizyty reżysera w Warszawie w ramach wydarzenia "Kraina Latających Drzew"

The main subject of the interview with Eugenio Barba is his theatre laboratory - Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium/Odin Teatret, in which the artist works with young people. Barba tells about the key turning points in the history of Odin Teatret and the viewers often accompanying the activities of the laboratury. Asked about the functioning of Odin Teatret within the present political and social situation, Barba replies that this context does not influence the course or character of his work. In reply to the final question, concerning the present validity of Barba's category of the Third Theatre, created in the nineties, the director mentions Komuna//Warszawa and Studium Teatralne, whose activities do not fit the category of avant-garde theatre and can be described as examples of the Third Theatre.
