Don't we essentially live for the moment when our performance objects  
(puppets)
surprise us, and in that moment reveal to us an aspect of our work  
that was yet unknown. I can not imagine being a performer without the  
possibility for the unknown. Theater must evolve and reassert itself  
on the performer, otherwise lets pop in the DVD.
