Lessons of the 'Troupe 1931' Theater Ensemble

This approach to the work is the only possible way for us to produce and perform our material. We understand the mentality (Geist) of our characters — both the goodness and flaws they show and share. If our character is in pain, we know this pain because we’ve felt it ourselves; and, as we expressed this pain on stage, we were certain that people in our audiences saw and felt it too.
Similarly, the socio-political insight embodied by each work was shared by the entire troupe. This, too, becomes new insight for everyone engaging together in our work — especially our audiences.
