"In recent years, I have been using the word "Disorder" more and more when speaking of the theatre craft, aware that it creates confusion. For me it has two opposite meanings:the absence of logic and rigor characterizing nonsensical and chaotic works or the logic and rigor that provoke the experience of bewilderment in the spectator. I ought to have two different words for this. Instead I will use an orthographic trick - the difference between small and capital letters - to distinguish disorder as a loss of energy, from Disorder as the irruption of an energy that confronts us with the unknown.
