‘Lisa Wolford’s interview from 1995 with Thomas Richards, director of Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards (Pontedera, Italy). The interview reflects the essence of the artistic research of Grotowski in the domain he called “Art as vehicle”, which marks out the final stage of his work. Richard speaks, among other issues, on the transformation of energy possible in work on Afro-Caribbean songs. It is this work, integrated into performance structures that draw on the extraordinary memories of the “doers”, which enables the “vertical journey towards the subtle”’. (Publisher’s note)
