"The moment the animal disappeared from the stage, tragedy was born." Romeo Catellucci
"re-evaluation of relations between human and non-human animals" (Nicolas Ridout, 2006: 110)
"The radical act of bringing the animals back on stage consists in the way it brings this history back into view" (Nicolas Ridout, 2006: 114)
"if such a polemic concerning tragedy exists, it is certainly related to the role of the author, to the domain of writing and its incredible pretence towards the author, whose body, as well as the animal's, mainly consists in simple and, at the same time, radical reality: 'being there'." Romeo Castellucci
