My greatest conviction is that every story is in its own way a model of the world per se. Every opera, every play, every poem exists as a model of the world in miniature. Latvians have a saying: the sun in a drop of dew. This tiny dewdrop with its spherical shape reflects the entire cosmos. I regard each story told in the language of the theatre in a similar way. Each individual work is embedded in a certain anthropological context, with all the consequences that follow from that, also at the aesthetic level, as regards style, the visualisation. Because for me visualisation is always the beginning of the beginning. Until I begin to see pictures of how the production could look, the process simply cannot take place.
