The other half is to dramatize the fact that we still 'are' human beings, now. Or can be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are either going to dissolve as a human race or we are going to break through into a new understanding of what it is to be a human being.
We're not inherently anything but human.
What we are is what we were always meant to be, and that's writers.
We seem, as it were, to have conquered and peopled half the world in a fit of absence of mind.
Being human is being a lot of things at the same time.
Today the fate of humankind is even more crucially linked than ever before. The boundaries between the problems of 'others' and 'our' problems are being increasingly erased.
It becomes us, therefore, to be contented, and dutiful subjects.
Our species is on the verge of changes that will fundamentally alter what it means to be human... and we are the people driving that change.
Now, drama is quite useful at helping us to understand what our position is and, conversely, we might then understand why our theatre is being destroyed.
After this whole acting thing is over and done, you eventually have to be human. Some people are never human. It's very weird.
