Camus leaves this actor standing on the bare stage, putting away all the costumes and props, like Sisyphus standing at the base of the mountain, next to his rock, I have to write the thesis paper. In this context I have become the absurd” man.

“The ‘absurd’ man begins where the one “everyday’ man leaves off, where ceasing to admire the play, the mind wants to enter in. Entering into all these lives, experiencing them in their diversity, amounts to acting them out." (Camus, THE MYTH OF SYSIPHUS)

In 1977 I rejected that any aspect of the portrayal would linger, I played each character with the freedom to be vulnerable for each moment on stage. this actor pushed his rock with a passion. He enters the lives of Caligula and Meursault, and understand their thoughts and actions. I have communicated to those watching, my own sense of being a man in the world, through eyes of men other than my own. I know that this actor, Caligula, and Meursault have all existed in their own Sounds of Being Alone. And, as for me, I am happy.
