What I call static theatre is theatre whose dramatic plot does not comprise action – that is, where the characters not only don't do anything, because they don't move about nor talk about moving, (...) where there is neither conflict nor a perfect storyline. People will say that this is not theatre. I believe that it is, because (...) there can be revelation of souls without action, and there can be creation of situations of inertia, soul moments without windows or doors to reality.
