Congratulation, Giving Birth

"The Last Supper", Markus Zohner


"I'm choking and vomiting from sange I've been drinking. I drank his blood, Mum!

The more I cut two pieces and I drank her sange, Mom! Your milk is now mixed with blood "


What color combined with the word" war "? Many probably respond derebbero-red (relative to blood).

This image of "blood" it immediately presents the viewer that takes a seat and that is not the most inviting. Now we encounter a billboard with the "Bread, Salt and Heart" and below it, on a table are just the elmenti: a loaf of bread, a pile of salt and even a real heart (that of a cow).

around, hanging with the butchers' hooks, other parts of the body of the cow: its base, the liver, tail and even the head.

Zohner This show follows the direction of which is represented by seven players in Kosovo, or rather you watch an actor who has been repatriated to Kosovo because they stopped at customs in Switzerland because his name was the same as a wanted man.

actors tell different stories in their own language experiences and events experienced during the Kosovo war (1996 - 1999).
Some of these stories are "real," while others are pure fantasy: tales of children killed, women raped, the daughter saw her mother die, etc. ...

available to the public did not understand the language were in three different areas of the room for subtitles in Italian projected on the walls.
It is clear, however, noted that while the actors read the subtitles to what is an awkward addition to preventing the expressiveness of the actors.
Thus, although the actors were good in my opinion, because convincing and focused on their roles,
having to continually read the subtitles (which sometimes were not always coordinated with monologues in - parts of the actors) was disturbing.

pity also that, since the play performed on stage, but done on a raised platform, sometimes you had the actors from behind.

The show was also made up some pretty violent choreographed dance between two men and a man and a woman where the woman was grabbed by man and where they both appear in the throes of a battle in which you dodge each other.

The show ends with a scene that struck me very personally. One of the actors pick up the bowl containing the blood that was in front of him leaning on a wooden stand, pouring drinks a lot on his bare chest and pants. At

fine artists and the director are available to the public with a girl who acts as a translator, even if the photographer himself (a friend of artists) enters the discourse.
Asked by a spectator who asked whether Kosovo has forgiven (the Serbs), the actors say: Yes, although perhaps for women raped is different; answer is an actress.
These have yet to forgive but probably will over time, although it is difficult to forget.

Personally I found the show a little 'raw. The languages \u200b\u200bthen, unfortunately, has not sent the true value and the important message about the meaning of war.
