The Festive Character of Theatre

    Repetition of essence. In exploring ourselves through art - this hermeneuetic exploration of identity - we see coming to the surface ourselves, with an essence, which we recognise as ourselves - as we explore these plural essences - repetition of the theatre - in repetition itself - we recognise ourselves and explore further: ethically repetitious: moral grounding/ guiding - ourselves, we wonder/ wonder and see reflected in the other, within ourselves - what we become. Becoming is a process of exploration of the self. Of creating an essence and building upon an essence. Gadamer claims this is visible - internally - through art. 

     Art is inside.

     Extravigance is not needed - it is enough to be. In being, we fulfill a role in the group. And this role is represented by the other - as - he - is. Contributing to Gadamer's ethical balance. Harmony
