Daily Inspiration Quote by Lusia Strus

Strus is selling the one thing theatre can still claim in an on-demand culture: risk. Her point about "no idea what's going to happen" isn't just audience-facing suspense; it's an actor admitting addiction to the live-wire feeling of not being fully protected by repetition. In film, the danger gets edited out. In theatre, the danger is the product. When she praises Too Much Light for its unpredictability, she's nodding to a whole lineage of performance that treats structure as a trampoline, not a cage: cues can land differently, laughs arrive late, a prop goes missing, a scene tilts because the room tilts. The show is co-authored in real time by cast, crowd, and whatever chaos walks in off the street.

The subtext is also a gentle swipe at the way we consume stories now. Movies (and streaming, and clips, and fandom discourse) promise identical experiences, calibrated to be replayed, quoted, optimized. Theatre refuses that comfort. "It's never the same" becomes a philosophy, almost a moral stance: presence matters, and so does impermanence. You can't fully own it; you can only be there for it.

There's intent here, too, in how she frames "exciting" as the core value. She's inviting audiences to stop grading theatre by cinematic standards - polish, continuity, the illusion of control - and to start valuing what movies can't offer: the thrill that something could go wrong, and the deeper thrill that it might go right in a way that only this night could produce.
