Synthesis, not analysis,
is the highest poetic utterance

"It was thus, with delight, I chanced upon a performance of TAP's… What TAP has called synergy in their plays is what I had imagined to be whole phrasing, and I recognised our affinity.

There is a synergy in human effort to transcend ordinary life, its categories, divisions, precisions, conflicts, its 'rationalities' and to grasp, however briefly, the poetic and ecstatic Oneness, or totality, which is the privilege of saints and mystics, scientists and poets like Kalidasa who was one with Nature; and the TAP members I have known are all like that.

Theirs is the Total Theatre, in embryo, dreamed of by Artaud in his Second Manifesto 'which will address itself only to total man… renouncing psychological man, with his well-dissected character and feelings, and social man, submissive to laws and misshapen by religions and precepts.'

TAP is still an uncommercial group utterly unifying the actor's life with his art, in a spiritual discipline that jettisons the individual ego for a collective synergy and the materialisation of the metaphysical poem with its resonance in Nature, Man and the Unknown, as envisioned by Antonin Artaud."
