The myth of life is made even more foreign to the truth by its reflection: Art. When the actors attempt to perform the drama of The Six Characters, they protest; what they see being played is not what they have lived. The Character: "Believe me, I admire your artists, but they are not us." The Director: "It's obvious. They are not you, they are the actors." The Character: "Wonderful, the actors. They play, and indeed excellently, our roles. But for us, this gives the impression of something different, that would like to be the same and yet is not. It is something that belongs to them, that no longer belongs to us...".
