Director Statement

There’s an argument as if the language has claimed its independence and speaking by itself. Within this independence, present folds upon itself as a repetition, beginnings merge
with endings, and, visa-versa, miscommunication becomes communication, or communication itself has been removed completely. Stories happen way beyond somewhere outside of spatiality, or go on. ‘‘You asked for this’’ says the poster on the wall, and she can only say ‘‘Yes.’’ Fatigue, ineffective, sick, latterly/infinite iterations, infinite conversations or monologues. Everything unnerves me.
