Theatre becomes Art when it is put on stage. Not before. When someone
manages to communicate a secondary reality, not the apparent reality
but one which lies far from objective reality, when poetry intervenes,
then theatre becomes Art. Theatre plays with time and space, and
in the spectator it produces the illusion that he or she has been
transported to just the spot where those who tread the boards have
decided they are. Tangible reality has nothing to do with Art. For
the actors, Art is something chanced on at certain moments of their
work, when they sense that what they are saying is suffused with
a transcendence and is the synthesis of something intelligible and
apprehensible. (Els Joglars. La guerra dels 40 anys)
