“Sláva Daubnerová and Pavel Graus decided to interpret the sickened relationship in their latest stage performance Some Disordered Interior Geometries…Based on their research or “expedition” to the roots of the relationship, all the way to its last stage which is dissolution, the authors created a scenario full of fragments, indications of situations or just moments that depict both partners during the process of disintegration of their relationship. Their testimonies which are delivered in spoken form, by music and songs include accusations, sadness, nostalgia, but also a subtle relief – memories in a form of short holiday videos shot by the home video camera.” Marek Godovič
