“Repetition inevitably breeds difference, of course, and so these little shifts or tiny changes feel really significant,” kateberlant tells rachsyme, in a new interview.
, in which you were talking about how some of the critics of the show said that you don’t “really go there.” And it bothered you, because you’re, like, “That’s the entire point of the thing.”
Genuinely, the show is my religion. I do have very deep feelings about physically going to the theatre, and seeing performers and being together and consuming things directly and not through screens. I do think our humanity’s kept alive in those rooms, sincerely. But, also, I think something opened up for me when I realized the show is about failure. I started to realize, Oh, right, whenever you make anything, it will never be the thing that you sought out to make ever, ever, ever, ever.
This is something. I don’t know who wrote this. It may have been your blessed colleague. Someone said there was a moment in the jazz club where I broke and laughed and, like, “was Kate, and I wanted more of that.” And I was, like, “Uh, that’s fake.” If I ever laugh onstage, it’s fake, or I can hold back. I don’t believe any performer is up there unable to contain themselves. You give into it because it’s pleasurable. It’s pleasurable to go, “I want to laugh. I’m going to laugh.
Yes. I want leads and I want that deeply, but I’m also so gratified during the show. Because this is the best time of my life. I know I’ll be chasing this for the rest of my life. I’m already nostalgic for this time. I’m overwhelmed by the response to the show and the fact that every single show is sold out and that people are coming multiple times. I mean, it’s my absolute dream come true. It’s also the joke of the show, that I set out hoping that, yes,I’m sure you are getting work from it.
But the artifice stuff, I’m interested in that on a personal level in the way that I assume we all are, which is, like, “Who are we? What are we? What am I?” I took an acting class where this teacher would make you get in front of everyone and just look at everyone and ostensibly feel your defenses drop, or you would just be bare. I was, like, “This is the fakest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.
