saga
theatre project by irena ristic
1st of september 2006. @ center for cultural decontamination belgrade
saga explores the family system in the protected setting of 'petite borgois' social order, and origines of narcisme as the factor of disturbance of first and the most important emotional relations that we establish. based mainly on gesture and non-verbal action, the performance explores sensitive, supressed, never articulated levels of family disorders. from the point of view of a growing up kid, we reveal the symptoms of systematical family patology, a world where the children are raised according to a pattern within "small and ordinary" family circle in which emotional knots stay tied for the lifetime, blocking every kind of freedom or creativity.
