LECTURE ON A BOX

Welcome to my new soloperformance

at Malmö Theatre Academy.

'

LECTURE ON A BOX

'

The performance is based on a phenomenon

in the Russian orthodox church,"the foolishness in Christ".

In Russian these fools are called jurodiviyj, originally meaning

degenerate or freak.

'

The popular designation in Russian however;

is God's people or The Blessed.

The Jurodiviyj left the church to live in a kind of public abstinence.

They performed a theatre of foolishness in the public space,

and they always acted in the opposite way of what is considered

a normal and desirable behaviour.

'

By combining vision and blindness, pictures and judgement,

hallucination and language, sleep and wake, day and night,

insanity is in the end negated to nothing.

This is because insanity is a combination of everything

which is negative.

'

Paradoxically the nothingness of which insanity embodies

becomes a manifestation unto itself. It explodes out in signs, words and gestures.

It is a hopeless complicated unit of order

and disorder born of an objective rational reality

and the meaningless of insanity.

Therefore if insanity is nothing then it may only manifest itself

by seperating from itself, by taking on the shape

of reason and by becoming its own opposite.

Everything insanity has to say about itself is exclusively reason,

despite that insanity is the very negation of reason.
