Bitef

Intuitivno sam osećao značaj Jožefovih poruka za sebe i za ljude meni bliske dok sam radio na BITEF-u, ali nisam mogao da dodem do njegove „radionice", mesta gde sva ta neobična energija nastaje, sve dok 2004. godine nismo organizovali njegovo predavanje na Univerzitetu umetnosti, u okviru seminara „Scenski dizajn na BITEF-u”, kada sam ga prvi put video kako nastupa van pozornice. Ravnica, Kanjiža, сто i belo, pokret, pies, džez... mir koji se čuje i oseća. Imao sam potrebu nekako da budem deo njegovog povratka и tu metafizičku Kanjižu. Projekat Bez naziva nastao je kompletno и Kanjiži, kao odgovor Jožefa Nada i An-Sofi Lanselen na okvir koji smo postavili Sodja Lotker, umetnička direktorka Praškog kvadrijenala, Miiena Stojićević i ja, kao producenti, i premijerno ce biti izvoden deset dana zaredom u okviru projekta Raskršće (Intersection) koji je centralni deo Praškog kvadrijenala 2011. godine. Ста коска, dvoje ljudi, njihova intimnost. I njihov odnos prema spektakularnoj svakodnevici koja ih okružuje. Intimnost izmedu dvoje ljudi, čoveka i njegovih korena, njegove zemlje, njegovog drveca, njegove vode, njegovih ljudi. Mi u publici pokušavamo da se probijemo kroz brzinu i hladnoću prisecajući se sporosti i intimnosti. Posmatrajuci njih dvoje, trudeci se da vidimo sebe u njima, nadajući se da oni bar na trenutak vide deo toga u nama. Metafizièki prostor koji je Jožef zaštitio u Kanjiži, uz pomoć svojih kolega i prijatelja, dva Zoltana (Bickei i Balint), daje nam za pravo da uprkos vrednostima vremena u коте živimo, tvrdimo da umetnost ima još uvek snagu da utiče na ljude. Zadovoljstvo mi je što sam na neki način i sam postao deo tog prostora. Aleksandar Brkic, producent

While working on BITEF (Belgrade International Theatre Festival) I Intuited the significance of Josefs messages to myself and the people close to me but could not get to his 'workshop', the place all that peculiar energy stemmed from, until we organised a lecture by him at the University of Arts in 2004, within the "Scene Design on BITEF" seminar, when I saw him perform off stage for the first time. The flatiands, Kanjiža, black and white, movement, dance, jazz... peace that is heard and felt. I had the need to somehow be a part of his return to this metaphysical Kanjiža. The Untitled project was completely produced in Kanjiža as Josef Nadj's and Anne-Sophie Lancelin's reply to the framework set by Sodja Lotker, Prague Quadrennial art director, Milena Stojićević and myself as producers, and it will premiere ten days in a row within Intersection project that is the central part of the 2011 Prague Quadrennial. A black cube, two people, their intimacy. And their relation towards the spectacular everyday environment. Intimacy between two people, man and his roots, his land, his trees, his water, his people. We the audience try to push through the speed and the rational world we live in by remembering slowness and intimacy. Watching the two of them, trying to see ourselves In them, hoping that for a fleeting moment they see a part of it in us. The metaphysical space that Josef has protected in Kanjiža with the help from his friends, two Zoltans (Bickei and Balint), gives us the right to claim - in spite of the values of the time we live in that art still has the power to impact/affect/influence people. It is our pleasure that we have became a part of that space. Aleksandar Brkic, producer
