The actor produces a work of theater. The artist's own awareness of the final product develops simultaneously to this process of production. This awareness does not belong to the speculative oder, but to the wholly different order of factivity. The actor has to consider the work outside himself i.e. in the spectator. The actor makes his own the awareness of the spectator. How can the spectator's awareness become the actor's? Maybe through the time which they live in common, but man's real time cannot be other than "my present". "My present" means the time of my activity. "I" must be responsible for "my act". When I have the responsibility, I have a personality. Both the actor and the spectator make a decision to live in the theatrical "milieu" and this is their activity. When they act and join their common theatrical "my present", there is established the communion between the actor and the spectator, between these two personal subjects, where we find the significance of the theater. In this communion, the knowing (and the making) of a work of theater will be intersubjective, and the work will start to exist, not as a form in suspension, but as a definite and clear form. The spectator's "present" guarantees his privileged state by which he can not only understand, but also create, an essentially spatial being, a work of theater. The participation of the spectator in the theatrical work is conceivable only along these lines.
