Summary

This quote suggests that the medium of theater holds an advantage over film when it comes to expressing and embodying the essence of poetry, particularly abstract poetry. Theater, with its live performances, offers a unique and immediate connection between the actors, the stage, and the audience. This interaction allows for a more profound and visceral experience of poetic language, emotions, and concepts, creating an atmosphere where abstract poetic elements can be fully explored and conveyed. Unlike film, theater has the ability to engage the audience's senses and imagination in a truly poetic and abstract manner.
