A performance by Krzysztof Garbaczewski based on Plato's Symposium.
A thing about Eros, maybe a little bit about love. Socrates came barefoot to the feast, he had such a custom at all, he walked barefoot on sandy soil, when human thought was still young and unpolluted by human demons. When he was condemned to death, he did not change his habit, he did not wear shoes to set out on a journey, to exile. No, he drank the poison quite completely and moved his bare feet across the stone floor. The numbness came first on the feet. Later it gradually moved towards the top of the body, and finally turned the brain into a dead mind. Maybe a man missed something there? A chance to stop thinking anymore.
