::Note::  ... This experience was the highlight of the Festival ... a deep connection between Tuscany & Dante was forged ... many performances revolved around Dante (mostly the Inferno) I was told it lended itself to drama ... we broke bread halfway on the Trek ... a story was shared which I had no idea  about  but at the end I witnessed Canto 33  ... Balzaretti transformed from an engaging host & racanteur to Count Ugolino ... amazing & unforgetable ... from that moment the mystery of my being in the Tuscany hills was imprinted ...

My thoughts are wounds in my head. My brain is a scar. I want to be a machine. Arms to drag legs to walk no pain no thinking. (Heiner Müller , 'Hamletmachine' ) Heartplay A May I lay my heart at your feet. B If you don't make a mess on my floor.. A My heart is clean.. B We'll see, won't we.. A I can't get it out.. B Would you like me to help you.. A If you wouldn't mind.. B It'll be a pleasure. I can't get it out either.. A cries. B I will remove it surgically. What have I got this penknife for anyway. We'll have this sorted out in no time. work will keep you from despair. Right, there we are. But this is a brick. Your heart is a red brick.. A Yes, but it beats only for you.. (1981) A beats B to death with the brick.. (Addition, July 1991). ------------- Heiner Müller ----------------- from Heiner Müller Theatremachine translated and edited by Marc von Henning

(Postman & Weingartner, 1969, p. 33-36) * Generally, each of his lessons pose a problem for students. * He rarely summarizes the positions taken by students on the learnings that occur.
