" These strange games of flying hands, like insects in the green air of evening, communicate a sort of horrible obsession, an inexhaustible mental ratiocination, like a mind ceaselessly taking its bearings in the maze of its unconscious. " And what this theater makes palpable for us and captures in concrete signs are much less matters of feeling than of intelligence. " And it is by intellectual paths that it introduces us into the reconquest of the sign of what exists. " - from Artaud, The Theater and its Double, trans. Richards " Autochtones, an appellation assumed by some nations, importing that they sprung or were produced from the very soil which they still inhabited. The word properly signifies persons who had no other parents but the earth. The Greeks valued themselves, the Athenians in particular, on account of their being Autochtones; and as a badge of their origin wore a golden grasshopper in their hair, because that insect was supposed to be produced in the same manner.
