How may a theatrical iconology interact with such primary social family members as these among the residing and the dead?

It issues the filling-in of the orchestra pit. The abyss which separates the actors from the viewers just like the useless from the living…” If the relation among the dwelling and the lifeless should be considered by way of an analogy with historical theatre, how may avant-garde theatre be considered by way of this similar relation “today”?
