Theater has been alive for 2,500 years. It all began in Greece, when an uncompromising yet wise being came into the world, obeying its own time and occupying a central place in the history of humanity.

The book is a collection of encounters with some of the greatest figures of contemporary theater, such as Robert Wilson, Heiner Müller, Kazuo Ohno, Patrice Chéreau, and Dario Fo, as well as many other theatrical artists who left their mark.

The theatrical journey leads from Berlin to Paris, from Kabul to Baghdad, and from Petra to Epidaurus. Through dialogues with Chekhov, Shakespeare, or Aeschylus, the author demonstrates that classical theater can only exist in the present.

Theater lives, breathes, and is defined by the experience of the moment, while being able to learn from its past, continually enriching its knowledge and renewing itself with new structures and technologies, and actually following a reverse path from today back to its origins – 2,500 years ago.
