Save the West

Save the west. It might disappear soon. It is slowly and mindlessly destroying itself. Take its theater. This might be an institution which you'd not fear at all. This is the normal reaction. You fear a ferocious dog. You fear a lion, ferocious or not. But you do not fear a theater company. Except when the play being enacted is grotesque. Or full of depravity. This is exactly what is happening in case of the Marat-Sade play. In the name of entertainment and creativity west is using increasing amount of shock and outrage to relax-an obvious paradox but they do not know.
