Summary/Abstract: Piotr Olkusz speaks with Philippe Quesne, founder of the Vivarium Studio ensemble. The director describes his experiences as a set designer, what inspires him, and his understanding of the notion of the theater laboratory. He says that the founding experience of his theater was contact with the work of such playwrights as Philippe Minyana, Noëlle Renaude, and Michel Vinaver (although the plays of Vivarium Studio are not based on dramas, and use words to a very limited degree). The director also indicates the vast significance of small objects and the recycling of props which keep returning in his work and form the reality of many consecutive plays.
