Allie Stough Sacred and Profane Beauty

P. 89 Sacred and Profane Beauty

The actor does not play the role of a man, but the role of a role. Art is not imitation, but reduction of everything to a single principle. Dramatic art is ritual.

The actor just plays the part. Art does not reproduce, but a symbol of one idea. Drama is a form of ritual.
