Via Negativa
INCASSO

May 16 at 10.00 pm
Venue: Gledališče Glej
Duration: 60 minutes

The performance Incasso is from the cycle Via Negative and takes greed as its mortal sin. Greed is not understood as a property of the performance, but of the performers themselves. As with its other performance pieces, Via Negativa does not take a moral stance toward the chosen sin but only dissects it. In the form of an entrance fee, performers collect money from the audience that they then use as material in the performance. The performance stops the normal circulation of this money with the intention of illustrating not its exchange value, but the intimate relationship we have to money.

Bojan Jablanovec is a theatre director. In 2002, he began the cycle Via Negativa which is a form of collective creation and education, as he also organises workshops. Via Negativa is a cycle of performances each of which has as its starting point one of the human qualities that from the Christian perspective are conceived of as mortal sins. The performances function as a collage, the actors’ artistic contributions being pieces in a puzzle. As director, Jablanovec conceptually links them. This year, the cycle will be concluded with the performance Via Nova which will gather together all of the performers and material from previous performances.
