“When the day comes when society has developed in a human, beautiful and noble way, something that we will not achieve only through art, but also with the great and inevitable social revolutions, then the theatrical performances will be the first collective demonstrations completely unrelated money and the desire for profit, because, thanks to the social changes mentioned, education will always be closer to the artistic, and we will all end up being artists and as artists we will unite, for the love of art and not for some industrial purpose, to freely share our activities. “
