collective devising theatre. About small people in our small country. About stickers and masks that are required from us and behind which we really like to hide. We're too weak to get rid of it.

 

original text. In the production of the Talking Head, we were led by the taste of commonness and uniqueness. Marek Šindelka (the author of the story collections Stay With Us and the Map of Anna, which we used the most for the creative process) enchanted our minds and our inner vocabulary with his critical and ironic view of the contemporary life of young people. We identified ourselves in these stories pretty quickly.

it started very physically. Heartbeat, sweaty palms, drought in the mouth. Two minutes before twelve. But these stories are disgusting. Dancing, dancing, dancing. The words. Everything spins, step two and three. It spins with me, one minute and thirty. They say it helps to breathe deeply. Words, words, words. One, two, three, chacha, twenty seconds. Eyes everywhere, applause, reflectors, glasses with wine, snail pate. Digestion of paintings, gestures, social operations. Fifteen seconds. They flash on me, noise. One and two, three and four. Big Bang. So many insignificant things happened. How can such a small bird make such a big sound? Grass, sun, radish. Scientists of all universities of the world have recently found that iron in our blood comes from extinct stars, from the ancient explosions of supernov, they are absolutely right, there is a direct connection between us and the stars, the whole universe is circulating in my veins, entering a blinding glow, entering the light. I'm going to you.
