Donald Kitt's work both as an actor and director is stunning in its depth, precision, incredible attention to details and the sense of wholeness.
His guidance as a director was incredibly intentional, deep and supporting of me as an actor in the process of creating. When Donald directs, he encourages the actor to find that precision, intentionality and the integration of movement, text, soundscape, actor's voice and the visual effects. In this process the sense of actor's presence emerges. Donald guides you with such playfulness and lightness. He has the precious talent of seeing both tiny details and the big picture at the same time.
Thank you, dear master, your art inspires and stays in my heart and in the hearts of your audiences and your actors.

Is Sisyphus schizophrenic? Here's an interesting idea. Why, if you were carrying a rock up and down for eternity, wouldn't your mind soon lose its way? Wouldn't it start confusing fantasy with reality, dream with waking life?
We watched the theatrical performance "Sisyphus – flesh and earth" [performance with Fanis Katehos, directed by Donald Kitt] as part of the 13th Handmade & Recycled Theater Festival – Osmosis, at the Rectifier Theater in Gazi. Review/Article by Dimitris Fileles, FractalArt.gr
