The true power of performing arts

[aprotasenya]

"...the thing we hear most repeatedly, day-in, day-out in the United States, in every train station, every bus station, every plane station is "Ladies and gentlemen, please report any suspicious behaviour or suspicious individuals to the authorities nearest you". When all of these ways we are encouraged to view our fellow human being with hostility and fear and contempt and suspicion.
The arts, whatever they do, whenever they call us together, invite us to look at our fellow human being with generosity and curiosity.
God knows, if we had ever needed that capacity in human history, we. need it. now."


I seem to need a "I ♥ TEDtalks" t-shirt soon. (smile)
