After 36 years as Director, Peter Brook is leaving the Bouffes du Nord, the experimental Paris theater, where his minimalist productions continue to influence how plays are staged, The Guardian reports.

I met him there in 1981 when he was staging La Tragedie de Carmen; my dear friend violinist Jacques Dejean played in the orchestra.
