TRANSITion je pozorišno izvođenje na otvorenom koje dovodi u pitanje društvo i život u zajednicama. Osnovno pitanje je: Ko ili šta posmatra nas? Ima li uopšte nekog ili nečeg što nas posmatra? Ovo pitanje koje sve religije postavljaju se zasniva na osnovnom strahu zajedničkom svim ljudima: da možda nema ničega i da se život i postojanje možda završavaju samom smrću.

U ovoj predstavi PAN.OPTIKUM trupa povezuje elemente modernog doba i društava sa dugom evolucijom i razvojem društava kroz vekove. Dok se savremeni glumci suočavaju sa ovim pitanjem u potrazi za srećom, izranjaju figure iz grčkog mita, Kadmos i slepi prorok Tiresija, društvo kroz istoriju prolazi kroz ratove koji se stalno vraćaju, borbe i ograničavanja jednih od drugih. Ovo izvođenje ne pruža odgovore, ali nakon vizuelno bogatog finala ostaje pitanje: Da li je moguće da smo mi svi deo jedne celine postojanja i stoga, povezani sa svim drugim ljudima i bićima u univerzumu?

The PAN.OPTIKUM action theatre group is showing a version of Mouawad’s work “Le soleil ni la mort ne peuvent se regarder en face”

The ancient prophet Teiresias insists on the significance of an ancient tale, a myth, in our modern-day world: he draws our attention to the classes of violence and victims upon which our cities are built and cautions against new disasters.

He is familiar with the shift in history from war and violence, on the one hand, and enlightenment and hope for a better world, on the other.

By way of example, his ancient story shows the abduction of Europa by force, the personal vendetta of her father, who sends his sons to their pointless deaths, and the founding of a new city: Thebes.

Kadmos, Europa’s only surviving brother, becomes King of this city. He wants to reconcile locals and foreigners on the ruins of war. However, this peace is short-lived.

Despite or due to a gift which he bestows on Thebes and mankind: the alphabet which makes written language possible – letters as gods and goddesses of a new mythology.

But this gift proves to be an ambivalent means in the story: while it can facilitate enlightenment and understanding, it can likewise pave the way for deception and falsehood.

Language swells up and grows into a wasteland of text that hides and drowns out important questions.

How do we encounter the unutterable behind and above all words?
