The fourth wall – is it a barrier or a looking glass? Through the looking glass we enter into a world of fantasy; our curtains, walls, coulisses – our stage images – do we use them to create our visual themes? Do they reflect our own images? Is our theatre vision and scenography a looking glass, or a safety curtain? What relationships are created between our stage images and our real lives? What is our reality, and are we fulfilling our role as artists in pushing and expanding the borders of art? Can we push our borders towards new forms? Can theatre overcome walls and barriers to establish communication between people?
