They're just using the elements they know to make their work clear. It happens pretty intuitively. Creations Diving Horse works yet another step closer to the theatre, with stage-tested texts, in French only.

Oleg Kisselev, who recently directed Nabokov's Camera Obscura, has choreographed this bizarre work to the max.
Actors contort, dangle from the roof or walk inside rubber tires as they speak.
It's an approach. I'm interested in any approach to work with the body. Our goal was to modernize and go beyond a certain time period. The text is already somewhat flexible. To Greenberg, who studied with the renowned Jacques Lecoq in Paris, using movement in the theatre isn't just about reaching beyond language restrictions to gain a wider audience.
