Dear audience members,

While we struggle to prove ourselves to the world, and fall prey to a deep-set fear that we are wasting our own lives, morality and decency are vanishing. A trio of protagonists is almost literally nailed to a temporary stage with iron spikes, and each tries fiercely to outdo each other in performing their own bits, shouting over each other, shoving and resorting to unfair blows in order to steal the audience’s attention away from anyone else. Also, many special effects are used in the performance. In preparing for this piece, the performers subjected themselves to extreme physical and psychological stress. Like trained animals in an old-style circus they endured the worst possible torture during various workshops, lectures and exercises. All of these activities had unclear goals and only very rarely a positive moral outcome. During rehearsal itself, the protagonists aimed for the closest possible interconnection of their experiences and then, during a procedure called „mozektank“ (which means submitting to the will of the majority only once you have has convinced it to accept your own opinion), they used their skills and experience to the maximum in order to undergo a phenomenal attempt at creating a complex drama. We should add that they have at all times avoided pretension,

kitsch, and generalizations. All of these efforts lack clear goals and only very rarely could have a positive moral outcome – which must be emphasized!!! Some of the things mentioned in this blurb can be seen in this performance.

With very best wishes
