»In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.« — Herbert Simon, Nobel winner prize in Economics 1978
»Theatre is a clumsy thing, but it can be played with.« — Simon Kardum, at the 2013 Maribor Theatre Festival, in his speech at the Evergreen Crocodile Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony
Ram Ram performance plays with movements of minimalism and readymades of reality that are more artificial than art. A cinematic series of philosophical paradoxes on a construction stage full of starry glimpses with a live concert saying the unspeakable about you. Ram Ram empties space and time and sweeps away the clutter of days gone by from your mind's memory. An intimate performance with shadows and humour creates among high voltage energies. The meanders make the river slow to navigate. The desert is a place where the bush can speak. Ram Ram is the mosaic of living compost, delivering vitamins and minerals to the fire that consumes what we think we are.
What are the stakes of this modernity to come? There are four themes: Altermodernity by itself, idea of Traveling, Exhile sorry, and the fourth one will be based on the national borders. Of course, you know, it is not enough. It is just in a way to start this discussion, this big discussion Ram Ram. I see the new modernity to come has to be global from scratch. Scratch thing has to be global, modernity to come, inventing from scratch. Of course, you know, enough is just, is not enough, is just in a way to start this discussion, this big discussion global from scratch thing oriental idea of Traveling.
When you know that nothing is missing, that everything that exists is you and yours, desires disappear. Butoh levitates in the Ursonate of the interior expanses. What's going on in the old pot these days? We think with soles. Only nothing works. A blue bird floats in the zenith. A pie flies out of the oven into Circulation², reunited.
