At the moment when Romeo and Juliette kill themselves in their incapability to achieve love because of the social separation of their families, it seems that theatre goes very deeply in throwing lights on an existential question of the human race, such is the question of love. Nevertheless, is this so in reality? Or it is all about high level of a literary quality that theatre is submitted to, even obeyed to, and therefore it is going further away of its authenticity and unbreakable connection with the real life of the very human being who creates the very theatre?
THE INCEREDIBLE DUEL is the result of a long and an exhausting process of an experimental theatrical research which had for its starting points the two commonplaces, learning and love. Learning as the process of becoming conscious of going through any kind of experience, and love as the response to the question of human existence.
THE INCEREDIBLE DUEL is the reaction on nowadays state of mind of an individual who is lost between the crucial question of love and its unavoidable parasite – conditioning. It is a theatrical act which wants to penetrate through psychological into social plan and that way call in question all moral and social standards of contemporary individual.
THE INCEREDIBLE DUEL is a step forward in Blue Theatre’s aspiration to find and upgrade its own authentic expression based on a concrete theatrical language, the language which is, above all, intended for senses, and not only for spirit and intellect.
