| Synopsis: | The Last Story is a duodrama, a war of conversations, exploding phrases filled with emotions strong like gunpowder. A verbal "therapy" with and against each other, a striking parable of the battle of the sexes develops; its intensity equals a mirror, in which the audience watches itself through the protagonists, "the last Adam and Eve", who, like a leo and lioness, are caught in the cage called marriage. The play uses the inexhaustible potential of the everyday, comical and tragical misunderstandings between a man and a woman as its source and thus establishes ties with any representative of either gender. | |||||

| Notes: | Original Playwright - Kaca Celan | |||||
| Synopsis: | The performance Yard Sale: New Footfalls..., based on Kaca Celan's play New Footfalls(a remake of Samuel Beckett's Footfalls) is a symphony for two voices and one body put into one installation. It symbolizes the absurdity of the repetition of fates by means of two confronting monologues by the Mother and the Daughter shown in solemn moments of the ritual drama. These two have been thrust into the historic-cultural background, leaving the leading roles to the chronically absent Father and the suffering Son. With this performance the relationship between mother and daughter is opened up like Pandora's box and reveals tireless ghosts showing that there is still enough metaphysics within the damned female biology. New Footfalls, translated from the original German by Tajna Tanovic, presents the exiled Mother and Daughter who take over the identity not only of Beckett's heroines but also of his complicated postmodern artistic work, the open testament containing the theological, existential, political and psychoanalytical keys to understanding. The absurd situation of the 'ghosts' in Beckett's play becomes the reality of the exile....the artistic past taken over is the means to avoid the presence - press release | |||||
