Monodráma

When returning from a guest appearance in Macedonia when entering Serbia, the members of the Dogma Theater were subjected to a customs search, during which the customs officers discovered among the props a starter gas gun used in the performance "Višegrad -1". According to the expert opinion of the National Center for Forensic Sciences, it was found that it is a convertible weapon that can be owned and carried in the Republic of Serbia only with the permission of the state authority. The higher public prosecutor's office in the city of Vranje accused the owner of the vehicle, Kamil Bystrický, of the crime of illegal production, possession, carrying and trading of a weapon and explosives and asked the court to impose a sentence of one year in prison and compensation for the costs of the court proceedings.

How do we perceive time and space if we are isolated from everything we took for granted by the intervention of an external force? What creates our identity? What is the relationship between reality and illusion? What is freedom anyway? Does it have something to do with time? Kamil Bystrický's monodrama is a record of the fragmentation of a sometimes holistic perception of presence and being.
