“May your work be compelling and original. May it be profound, touching, contemplative, and unique. May it help us to reflect on the question of what it means to be human, and may that reflection be blessed with heart, sincerity, candor, and grace. May you overcome adversity, censorship, poverty and nihilism, as many of you will most certainly be obliged to do. May you be blessed with the talent and rigor to teach us about the beating of the human heart in all its complexity, and the humility and curiosity to make it your life’s work. And may the best of you – for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments – succeed in framing that most basic of questions, ‘how do we live?’ Godspeed.”JOHN MALKOVICH
The celebration of the World Theatre Day was first proposed in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI) and later established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Today, March 27, 2012 marks the 50th anniversary since the official establishment of this date, promoting annually the dissemination of a message written by a person in the world of theatre. For this special edition, the person chosen was the actor John Malkovich, whose message will be read by different personalities from the world of performing arts in all corners of the world.
