Neven Korda: ECHOES

»Great stories have passed. The past great stories have passed. The world collapsed into a multitude of fragments. Multitudes of fragments have passed. What comes is fear. What comes is dictatorship and confinement. What comes is the dreadful truth of slavery. Little vicious characters come to stand at the forehead of the armies of malice.« The drama performance Odmevi is a story of »fragments« related to human civilization, cruelty and violence, all in one embedded in the 20th century history. It is a story of uprooting and of the tearing out of historical memory, which in turn gives birth to the consistent erasure of human stories, true information and individual clusters of ideas. A fragmented world thus comes to open up in this context, which transforms the memory-unifying discipline into reality, the category of nomadism into necessity and complete deterritorialisation into the only possible freedom.
