«The South african writer Antjie Krog described meeting a nomadic desert poet in Senagal who described the role of poets in his culture. The job of the poet , he explained to her, is to remember where the water holes are. The survival of the whole group depends on a few water holes scattered around the desert When his people forget where the water is , the poet can lead them to it. What an apt metaphor for the role of the artist in any culture. The water is the history, the memory, the juice and the elixir of a shared experience.» («And then you act» by Anne Bogart)
