Episode

The next working phase involves a series of "bases" within which as many Episodes are generated. The Episode does not carry the weight of a message to be delivered and communicates as little as possible, but this cannot be defined as "fragment" or "metonymy".

An Episode ends up being closer to a series of pure and complete acts. It is a meteor that flies by lightly touching the surface of the world. And it remains rootless.

In order to understand this we need to reconsider the mechanics of the Attic tragedy right from the beginning. If we could imagine a tragedy without the singing of the Chorus, we would realise that each Episode still rests in the splendour of its reality (entelechia), its substantial and sidereal silence. A group of sculptures.

Without the will of understanding operated by the Chorus, the Episode represents, with its naked action, the inexplicable "I" of the spectator, whereas the Chorus explains and conjugates the third person of the chracters within the co-ordinates of a story.'

What remains in an Episode can only be the pseudo-biography of a hero. But form takes shape thanks to what is not pronounced (and the tragedy, according to Rosenzweig, is the art of silence).

-Romeo Castellucci, Tragedia Endogonidia, C. #01
