"itinerary is a fate map
destination is a destiny
draw every time anew
to leave a trace
anew
for entertainment"
translated from Tamil, unknown author, 2nd century BC
In this work we reflect predeterminacy and living in a moment and desire to leave a trace.
Also in this work we continue to implement the idea of diluting the borders between art practice and life art. The score of the events is defined by chance for every show. and never repeats itself. The events (dramaturgical puzzles) can be divided into two group. Some of them are our everyday actions considered as artistic; others are our artistic statements rooted in our deeply personal feeling of life. Forming new sequence every time those puzzles morph and open up themselves to us anew. We call it a play because no matter what sequence happens the moment it is performed dramaturgy and drama emerge inevitably. We say it is a performance because every piece of the material manifests our personalities and their interconnection in real life, so all that happens equals itself.
