ensembles, the blitz theatre group define their basic principles as
following: "theatre is a field where people meet each other and
exchange ideas in the most essential way, not a field for virtuosity
and ready made truths. There is a need for answers to what society
asks from art today and what theatrical structures stand for in the
dawn of the 21st century. All members are equal throughout conception,
writing, direction and dramaturgy process, everything is under doubt,
there is nothing to be taken for granted, neither in theatre nor in
life."
