Information about the spectacle: multimedia spectacle. A surrealistic fairy tale, a philosophical tale about search for the truth, and at the same time a modern spectacle designed for a woman dancer, a percussionist and a vocalist.
"The manifesto of a lizard" is a perverse question about the scientific myth of our times. What is its meaning for our perception of the world? How it affects our feeling of sense and freedom? "The manifesto of a lizard" is in fact the manifesto of imagination and dream in the world suppressed by the scientific schemes. It is also an artistic manifesto: the spectacle exceeds the conventional definitions. Using pastiche, it goes further, asking about pa- stiche, questioning it and bringing the mystery into light. It is composed of theatre, dance, musical concert and a video installation. The borders of the particular genres are blurred; the language of the utterance can be defined as permanent confrontation of separate worlds, which create their own form beyond any genre. However, the final formula of the spectac- le is not uncovered. The three performers, set in a minimal stage arran- gement, create the world of fantasy and, at the same time, the message full of irony and self-irony. None of the elements is dominating: absurd is clashed with mystery and a rock performance becomes a phantasma- goria and a puzzle.
