Quotes
-
Arrabal's theatre is a wild, brutal, cacophonous, and joyously provocative world. It is a dramatic carnival in which the carcass of our 'advanced' civilizations is barbecued over the spits of a permanent revolution.
Source: Javier Villán -
Without trying to compare what is incomparable, when I confront these twilight episodes... I often think of that scapegoat, my father... I, who am a mere exile.
