We all like sport because of its purity. There’s only you, your body, the track and the competition. Everyone wants to win, but some people need to win. Everyone believes they can be a champion. We’re all held captive in the same game without a way out. What to do? Can one retire? Can one tell the truth? Why?

Photo: Urška Boljkovac

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?
