About the performance

Performative setting Rats take Marko Čeh back to the text he already devised. This time around stage design is constructed by renowned visual artists. It becomes the protagonist of the performance, while the performers are merely bio-mechanical representations of symbolical captivity in the world that offers no way out. Grotesque numbness of the event forces audience into false image of comfort and a silent scream at the same time. Theatre setting is crossing the boundaries of performance into the visual art. It leaves no space to evade the basic question: are we merely capable of imagining, or also living an utopia? The gesture is clear: in the world, that is not capable to face its destructive nature, we can only be the unwanted populations. Rats.
