They were primarily addressed by artistic comprehensive performances that go beyond merely aesthetic pleasure or intellectual intricity, and explore universal human issues through the deepest layers of intuitive, associative and spiritual experiences.

At that time, subtle details open the door of universal truths, the moment blends in with eternity, materially with mysterious, profane with sacral, life with death – and in these moments the theater exceeds the boundaries of the rational and touches something deeper, essential. «
