A product of my choice not a victim of my circumstances (2012)

How are we feeling today, sir? Are you happy with our choice of color?
What is the difference between a comment with no particular importance and a racist statement?
Blessed with cancer is a spiritual journey, into the human soul, and a statement from the depth of the European inner human landscapes.
The performance questions the freedom of speech and the power of language, walking the thin line between stance and reflection. The performers play with the words, the physicality, the figurative language and the associations they create. In that way the performance is also a play about absolute stance and stances, and invites you to all the time shift your angle of judgment.
