Peter Brook has been often referred to as the most important contemporary theater director in the West. The fact that he has directed many plays without being tied to a single theatrical theory occasionally makes people think he is a eclectic imitator. But when you carefully observe his work, you can understand that his openness is nothing else but the pursuit and examination of theatrical communication. In this context, Brook's idea reminds us of Bricolage. Bricolage has been widely known after the publication of "The Savage Minds". L$\acute{e}$vy-Strauss used the word to describe characteristic patterns of mythological thought in compared with modern scientific thought and regarded it as a system of thought that we need to restore. Director Peter Brook have sought effective ways to fill the empty space with his broad view of theatre and life. His consistent attempt reveals positive theatrical idea with the expansive possibilities of Bricolage thought.
