The Theater as Will and Representation: Artist and Audience in Russian Modernist Theater, 1904-1909
View through CrossRef
There is for us an inexplicable rapture when we feel ourselves a crowd, a unified crowd, moved by a single feeling. Let us leave it to the researches of scholars to ascertain from what elements of our distant prehistoric past this phenomenon is composed. Let us leave it to them to determine whether it sprang from half-bestial orgies or from half-divine cults. One thing is indubitable: a shock runs through us when we feel ourselves fused in a single passion with others, with a multitude of other people, when we feel ourselves one grandiose whole, a unified mass.—Georg Fuchs, The Revolution of the Theater
