The performance Everything We’ve Lost While We’ve Gone on Living emanates from the absurd as defined by the contemporary temporal context and as developed by the French playwright Eugène Ionesco, in his work The Killer. Bold glamour and exquisite show; grandiose buildings and time when everything is possible; is that merely a dream that belongs to the past? What exactly were we born into and in the middle of what did we grow up? What should we have done, but haven’t? What should we have thought about, but haven’t? We were neither rational nor responsible. And it’s because instead of thinking about results, we were creating performances. As if our entire life, while we’ve been living it, had been replaced by a false freedom, where others get to decide whether our not too distant future will turn us into calmed-down citizen, desperate individuals and/or emigrants living somewhere far away.
