Florence, 1908: Edward Gordon Craig, one of the most influential theorist of the theatre in Europe, launched his Monthly Journal of the Art of the Theatre "Mask". In his Daybook 1 (1908-9) Craig writes: "I want to study the theatre. I do not want to waste time producing plays... I want to leave behind me the seeds for the Art, for it does not yet exist. Such seeds are not discovered in a moment."
