THIS BABYLONIAN CONFUSION
The performance for a specific space was created based on the montage of created acting materials and B. Brecht's songs. This performance was born from the feeling of the necessity of its creators to determine themselves according to the duty of artists in "dark times". Four actors using the characters of angels speak out against war, nationalism and destruction. [1992]
"In dark times, will it be
singing in dark times?
Yes, there will be songs about dark times.”
B. Brecht
"In a strictly controlled, directed and energetically charged ritual play of four actors, Brecht spoke as our most alive and modern contemporary - against slaughter and against totalitarianism... The possible hermeticity of signs is suppressed above all by strong, precisely channeled, pure and accessible emotions." – Dubravka Knežević (PACIFIC, August 1992)
"...this play initiated a stage play that transcends itself and that finds cover for its fierce involvement in the time of the outbreak of war hysteria on the soil of the former Yugoslavia in the poetry of the socially and politically engaged Bertolt Brecht." - Aleksandar Milosavljević (Dance on the remains of the world, Vreme, 4 December 1995)
"The performance of DAH THEATER reveals the truth of our bad everyday life, i.e. "what a time it is when talking about trees is almost a crime". Struggle (The Elegance of Street Education, 23.7.1992)
"The performance "Babylonska pometnja" - a drama of rebellion - against general silence, hatred, national nakedness, was especially notable." - S. Dj. (Rebellion against evil, News, 07.08.1992)
