:06:01
the Chinese met in front of
their embassy

:06:04
with all the Western reporters.
:06:08
Guys from Life,
France Soir and so on.

:06:13
And a student came up,
:06:16
his face covered with bandages
:06:20
and started yelling.
:06:22
Look what they did to me.
:06:24
Look what
the dirty revisionists did.

:06:28
So the reporters rushed over
:06:31
and began taking photos
:06:33
as he removed the bandages.
:06:35
They expected a cut face,
:06:37
covered with blood or something.
:06:40
And he carefully removed
his bandages

:06:44
as they took pictures.
:06:47
When they were all off,
:06:48
they realised his face was alright.
:06:52
So the reporters began yelling,
:06:55
This Chinaman's a fake.
:06:57
He's a clown, what is this?
:06:59
But they hadn't understood.
:07:03
They didn't realise it was theatre.
:07:06
Real theatre.
:07:09
Reflection on reality.
:07:11
I mean,
:07:12
like Brecht or Shakespeare.
:07:16
UNION: COMMUNIST YOUTH
(MARXIST-LENINIST)

:07:25
We must be different
from our parents.

:07:31
My father fought the Germans
hard in the war.

:07:35
Now he runs
a Club Med resort.

:07:39
A big holiday camp by the sea.
:07:42
What's terrible is
:07:43
he doesn't realise
that it's made exactly

:07:47
along the lines
of the concentration camps.

:07:56
A socialist theatre?
:07:59
No, I don't know.
