the effect of the annual workshop with a theater group led by the actor of the Kana Theater.
Each of us carries an inner story. A tale. A mystery. Each of us tries to hear it inside. And to deafen it as quickly as possible. Sometimes by dancing, sometimes by shouting, sometimes by staying silent, sometimes by barking, sometimes by running, sometimes by dyeing, sometimes by laughing. Sometimes, to sweep under the rug. To express it is the most difficult option. The performance, which arose from our conversations, letters, memories, but also from our disappointments, anger and discord, is an attempt to exorcise our lives – to bring to the surface what we struggle with in loneliness. It is also our own manifesto – infused with mockery and grotesque – against artificial gravity, forms, norms, pressures and orders to which we are subjected every day. Against good advice, forced smiles, dictates of style and beauty, demons of adulthood. It is our cry to hear our music. It is an invitation to our "acacia" party. Spikes of acacia do hurt, but the extract from its flowers relieves the pain of injury if rubbed into skin. Acacia incense stimulates forces dormant in the psyche. And acacia brew brings prophetic dreams.
