“What remains is bigger than either crime or punishment - it is a poem about the purity of life without national signs which only in death - as through redemption - binds us, observers, to fight the same evil.” Bojan Munjin, Novosti "Aleksandra Zec is a performance of mourning, and it is almost the first of the kind both in process and in the result. It is achieved through the truth, ethics, sadness, love and beauty (aesthetics). The performance, although based on documentary material, is an emotional and cathartic Antigone] the right to burial is the right to condemn the criminal, to condemn the crime. That is the question of polis and the possibility of human society." Borka Pavićević, Danas " Aleksandra Zee is sub specie mortis performance. We, the audience, watch it from the other side of not only Aleksandra’s death but our own, too. Still living, we must be careful what we are doing, what we are saying, of what are keeping quiet and why. The girl Aleksandra, the most innocent being, was killed like God himself, because God is a child.” Zlatko Paković, Danas
