Via Negativa: JUST THE BEGINNING

Premiered on the first round of presidential elections in Slovenia, the third consecutive performance in the series entitled Unsolvable reveals just how very lucky we are to live in democracy.

“Straight beam of light, also spreading across the audience, one microphone, a lucid music intervention occasionally repeating itself – that’s basically all this performance required to succeed in fully ironizing the misery of representative democracy. The contagious poverty. The role of a critical artist who, stripped of all other options, can do nothing but jump in its nudity, for he is proclaimed to be the redundant social parasite.” (Nenad Jelesijević, Radio Študent, November 19th 2012)
