听力原文:W: May I ask how you met with theater? I read that you were an actor first. M: No, at first I was a stage technician and electrician. Then I became an actor. And then a director. When I was 45 I quit acting and became a director. I also taught at a theater school, that was 36 years ago. W: When you direct a play, what point do you focus on? M: Whatever my imagination says, whichever my thoughts of the world today are. I love Oriental theater, and the Ancient Greeks, I love the roots or, in other words, the conventional theater. I love music and ballet, which are abstract arts. For me, drama is just for selected groups so much so that not everyone would understand. That's why I can be myself. W: Are there any works of art or architectural sites, that you use your impression in your work? M: Certainly. Parthenon, Acropolis in Greece, Coliseum in Rome. Some cities that I love very much, like Jerusalem. W: Did you ever think of becoming a film director or a writer? M: You know, I wanted to. I write all my compositions myself. I'd like to make at least one film. But once I turn around, something goes wrong with finances. What does the man think of drama?
