“Director strives to create “fierce, impetuous theater -” screams”. It should be noted that Director Adonis Filipi after the author immediately distinguished himself as a connoisseur of the scene. He has the undoubted talent to do, “visible”, “touchable” any theatrical situation, an extraordinary power of imagination, that dark, that can cause Homeric laughter humor”.
“The play proposes to apply to the roots of theater arts. The play uses the tools of primitive grotesque, bringing the techniques conventionally theatrical exaggeration to the extreme, “cruel”, “unbearable” forms, the “paroxysm” of the comic and the tragic. Meanwhile, it is neither surrealism nor Dada. The language with the help of funny paradoxes, clichés, sayings and other word games are exempt from the usual meanings”.
“His origin performances Filipi lead from street theatre, commedia Dell’arte, circus, clowning, movies, Chaplin, B. Keaton, the Marx brothers, ancient Comedy and medieval farce — you can find the origins of for example, limericks and “renderowanie” , Bruegel proverbs and he artistic paradoxical pictures. A typical method — the pile of items that threaten to engulf actors; things take on life, and people turn into inanimate objects”.
