Bara Kolenc and Atej Tutta: 3º: RETORIKA
When man opened his mouth, he fell silent. When he spoke out, he lied. When he swore, the word became an act. When he repeated, he believed. When he doubted, he lost his voice.

Metamorphoses 3º: Retorika examines the field of language and communication and enters this field through an artistic articulation of rhetoric, a specific skill that already Aristotle named the art of persuasion. The performance discloses the mechanisms of political, judicial and media rhetoric through the construction of the icon Dr. Love Prenner referencing the real-life story of the highly moral and politically controversial Dr. Ljuba Prenner, a transsexual attorney in post-war Yugoslavia. As an icon, Love Prenner today stands for the questions about the (im)possibility of Europe.
This is the third performance in the Metamorphoses 1º- 5º series, a multi-year modular project including not only performances but also other artistic and theoretical formats. FB event>>>
