"A huge field of experimentation, presenting visible manipulation, appears to be growing: (...) paper theatre revived by Alain Lecucq (...)"
"And names appear, staying in minds as much as the titles of the shows [they present]: (...) Alain Lecucq for paper theatres."

"Writing is always an alteration process, an operation which metamorphoses the reality it apprehends. In order to read, it is absolutely necessary to be able to read. Only poets of the stage know to hear what the poets of the book say. And this type of meeting takes place more and more, discretely, magically: Valère Novarina and Claude Buchwald, Philippe Minyana and Robert Cantarella, Matéi Visniec and Alain Lecucq (...)"
