‘’Exactly five years ago in a conversation with one of my teachers, a starting motivation for a performance like this one was born. He told me then that our civilisation is a civilisation of answers, not of questions. Then I realised that in the absence of answers anxiety appears. And anxiety inevitably brings to rash judgements trapped by fears. Only in order to leave the position of ignorance as soon as possible.
Human system of values is full of such judgements. In time they were established and became official. They regulate the relation to God and devil, good and evil, love and guilt, punishment and reward. In the time of archaic man, psychology didn't exist. Things were regulated in a complete conjunction of God and all that existed. In those circumstances any new sensation, any extraordinary thing was easily explained.
Today, things are different. Man has become free to search for an answer, and the only instruments he uses are rash judgements trapped by fears. Science is soon pushed aside and that is how wrong actions with horrible consequences appear.
Will paradoxical human need for eternal conquering of once forever lost freedom bring to a new form one day, to a complete emanation and perhaps even to that new man? The man to whom everything is permitted.
Or a new punishment always follows!”
Nenad Colic
“When you find your demon you will not be all alone in the world any more...
And together with him you will be able to challenge this stupid dull world,
you will be able to despise those masques of watery blue eyes that circle you...
And only if in your deathbed you find strength to say to yourself:
I did let my demon speak,
you will be able to say that your life mission is fulfilled.”
Oscar Panizza
