22.09.2009 CIRCO EUROPIA (Macedonia) 

Reality’s grotesque cabaret. 

Ladies and Gentlamen. The 21st Century has reached me in a theatre in every sense. In the theatre as a working, artistic environment, creating music for 15 performances in Macedonia, and in the theatre as a social and (geo) political farce in which, not willingly, my countrymen and my country has been involved once again, without knowing how many times my people and my countries have been previously involved. Absurdity, lies, intrigues, conspiracies, murders, wars all of these change as on the big screen: Some of them written by the great mages of the theatre Molière, Brecht, Ionesco, Bihner, and some by the “newly composed Demurgs” of “The Great Chess Board” and their puppets.
