THEATRE WITHIN THE THEATRE

In 1920 Pirandello said of his own theatre of art:
"I think that life is a very sad piece of buffonery; because we have in ourselves, without being able to know why, wherefore or whence, the need to deceive ourselves constantly by creating a reality (one for each and never the same for all), which from time to time is discovered to be vain and illusory...... My art is full of bitter compassion for all those who deceive themselves; but this compassion cannot fail to be followed by the ferocius derision of destiny which condemns man to deception."
