"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"There are other actors in the same piece, who are somehow ‘themselves’ in every single role and through every different style. Again, that’s fascinating to me- how the same kind of character silhouette for one person would be a place of transcendence or transformation, but for another would be an articulation of immobility, a lack of capacity to transform. The role becomes something that articulates the actor just as much as the actor articulates the role."
