Lee Breuer Quotes
«I feel that people who would think it goes too far don't understand what the intent is. One has to build a bridge to the present.»
Author: Lee Breuer
«Ibsen wrote a kind of Times best seller; he wasn't 100 years ahead of his time -- he was 10 years ahead. It was the feminist anthem of its time -- the YMCA of feminism.»

«The fact of it is that the men's world was actually smaller than the women's world. That the patriarchy was safe was illusory.

«This certainly steals an acting style that was used in the clubs in Munich in 1900 and picked up by (playwright Bertolt) Brecht. We associate it, and rightly so, with some of the high melodrama that was used for silent films.

«It's an attempt to do speaking opera. What I'm doing can work against the melodrama and the music, and parody the melodrama. In the love scenes, the men are picked up by the women ? the men are swept off their feet ? so I can get a lot of comedy from it. It's a comedy of opposition.»
