12:51 “Russian culture is made up of many things. And most of them don’t particularly have a lot to do with the political leadership at this point in time.”
14:28 “History is the sum total of all the things they’re not telling us”
15:57 “Burn after reading”: the world is ruled mostly by chaos, and a lot of stupidity and greed. And a lot of incompetence.
18:18 Will the ongoing war change art and cinema? The West is too self-contained.
19:24 How the media work so that something else can replace COVID.
22:25 The pranksters called George Bush the other day, and he said, “we weren’t going to ask the Ukraine to be NATO, but things changed”

30:45 Should theater be bold and provocative? Should artists provoke and should they offend some part of the audience? How a play about the meeting between Freud and Dali can be both an investigation of sexual abuse and a trigger for people.
33:32 Theater is something that should upset you rather.
