The third part of a trilogy written by playwright Milan Ramšak Marković. In collaboration with director Sebastijan Horvat and the creative team, they explore a specific dramaturgy of the journey in a new creative cycle. This exploration involves the transfer of cinematic language to the theatre and is inspired by ancient themes.
The performance could be described as a theatrical road movie or a human passion play; we follow Vid as he moves towards everything that unfolds before his eyes, as if driven by an inner force or impulse. The thirty-five-year-old vagabond who has returned to his hometown of Maribor after fleeing Austria, where he had spent several years probably involved in petty crime. Vid is an observer. And not a nihilist; he has turned his back on the idea that things will ever get better. As the director says: "Vid is roughly outlined as a kind of cross between Don Quixote, a hero who, thrown out of his time, comes across as a naïve, comic figure, Jesus, who wants to change the world with love, and Molloy, who persists in this drive not to stop."
