Jerzy Grotowski (August 1933 - 14 January 1999)

Jacques Lecoq (December 15, 1921 – January 19, 1999)

The artistic directors of Imago Theatre studied with Lecoq.

In January of 1999, I felt an overwhelming compulsion to take up acting again.

In my first play with Imago, I was holding a mask, not dissimilar to the one Lecoq is holding.
