Overwhelming "Senses"

I used to think theater was like the culinary arts. A temporal art form. I was mistaken.

With food, you can behold (or create) something beautiful, enriching to the bodies of your audience. But no matter how glorious the creation, it will soon be gone forever.

Yes, in its corporeal form, theater is temporal. However, once viewed, a great piece of theater can stay with you forever. Amazing theater can change you in ways that you'll ponder endlessly. Ways that change your perspective about yourself, art, and the universe.
