1) Until recently, the body has been representing the unrepresentable – body as existence ± ∞

2) In modern times, certain media constructions as picture became a condition of existence of the body± ∞ The body, as well as theatre, in its singularity – begins to exist ± ∞

3) The body – which is not pervious to transfer and replication, and therefore the death in language, achieves a new theatrical letter of the body as unrepresentable that precedes written words ± ∞

4) Body-theatre plays itself, and to make it possible, it is necessarily to relive the body relieved of the theatre ± ∞

5) Theatre Aruša is decentered with the total body act ± ∞ The need for a total body theatre is the need for more life, mostly because theatre now equals the body ± ∞

6) For Theatre Aruša – to be means to represent the unrepresentable – bodily. In Theatre Aruša – to speak means to write – bodily. ± ∞

7) The body is the origin of life as unprepresentable ± ∞

8) Theatre Aruša is the theatre of life – unreadable ± ∞

9) Theatre Aruša’s ceremony occurs only once as thinking the unthinkable – bodily ± ∞
