And if one is able to gain such an insight into human nature as I have only been able to hint at, one is able, on the basis of such an insight, to find for every finger, for every arm movement, for every change in the human organism in space, one can find an expression as lawful as nature and its spirit itself have found, by letting us learn language and song in a naive way from the unconscious of human beings during childhood, then one is able to create such a visible language in such a lawful way, then this visible language is, I would say something that plays the same on another instrument as singing or declamation or recitation plays on the one hand. One really gets a kind of orchestral interaction between what is happening on stage and what is being played on musical instruments or what is being recited or declaimed by the human voice.
