Normalization

An original theatrical production by Disk Theatre, with a script created through collective creative methods from April 26, 2023 to November 25, 2023. It is a theatrical experiment and polytematic decomposition typical of the DISK Trnava ensemble — verbal, movement-based, and musical expressions emerge from the creative inner world of the actors.

"Here, here, here lies our misery! That is why our nation shrinks, bends, and crawls in servitude. Where was our people to find courage when they were struck for speaking a bolder word?

Where were they to renounce their old sins when they were constantly given only the opportunity to commit them?

Where were they to grasp at anything when they had nothing of their own, when from birth to death they were called only the vilest names?

It would be a miracle if our people were different from what they are, and whoever thinks that two or three kind words will lead them out of this self-abandonment does not know the full curse that lies deep upon them." — Ľ. Štúr
