| description | Interpretation in itself is artistic work. Any interpretation, that is, both of the world and of man. All along the spectrum: from the interpretation given in a philosophical treatise to a diagnosis made by a surgeon over an operating table. In the theatre, the interpretation of the human condition and of the world is (though perhaps not always) the masterwork of the director’s art and of the actor’s art. Directing and acting do belong to the art of interpretation. Therefore, in turn, the interpretation of a theatrical performance—precisely what a theatre critic does—is equally a work of art; that is, a work of the art of interpretation. Criticism is an art form. Or at least it occasionally achieves the level of such. |
