Won't curdle with us

Nova Gorica, 2019

 The Amateur Youth Stage (AMO) has been operating under the patronage of the SNG Nova Gorica since 1977 and with youth performances complemented the theatre's programme while offering a chance to a number of gifted young people to develop their artistic talents. For ID: Babylon, We, a group of young artists from Nova Gorica, started researching who the Slovenian/European “enemies" are, who we are afraid of and who represents the so called “destroyers” of  European culture. We took motives and content from various media and negative comments on social media.  We thus created typical political conservatives or better people who don’t accept differences. The creative processes led us to the genre of absurd and black comedy. 

Such must be the function of laughter. Always rather humiliating for the one against whom it is directed, laughter is, really and truly, a kind of social  “ragging”. (Henri Bergson)
