REČ SELEKTORA Jedan od vodečih slovenačkih, ali i evropskih pozorišnih reditelja, Jernej Lorenci, nastavlja svoje istraživanje scenskih mogučnosti velikih epskih i drugih nedramskih tekstova na kojima se zasniva naša civilizacija. Posle Homerove IHjade posvetio se Bibliji, iz koje je, u saradnji s glumcima i umetničkim timom, izdvojio samo nekoliko tekstualnih celina, kao što su Knjiga o Jovu ili Psalmi. Predstava je, paradoksalno, ujedno i minimalistička i monumentalna. Minimalistička je zato što, osim stolica na kojima glumci sede dok čekaju svoju scenu, u predstavi nema scenografije, ali nema ni scenskih efekata ni dinamičnog mizanscena: ona pre nalikuje prezentaciji radionice za glumce. Monumentalna je, medutim, zašto što se iza vrlo analog prostora za igru otkriva beskraj prazne pozornice, a prevashodno zato što sjajna glumačka igra, u kombinaciji sa govorom i fizičkom radnjom, ostavlja utisak snage i grandioznosti, Ta igra, največa vrednost predstave, preispituje mogučnost energetski jakog, emocionalno i duhovno proživljenog, übedljivog i istinitog kazivanja biblijske reči u savremenom pozorišnom idiomu, a bez ikakvih psiholoških, socijalnih i sličnih (nasilnih) približavanja našem vremenu.

CURATORS’ WORD Jernej Lorenci, one of the leading Slovenian and European theatre directors, continues to explore staging possibilities of great epics and other non-drama texts on which our civilisation is founded. After Homer's Iliad, he has turned to the Bible and, in cooperation with actors and his artistic team, has singled out only several distinctive themes, such as The Book of Job or Psalms. Paradoxically, the production is as minimalisée as it is monumental. It is minimalistic because, apart from the chairs on which the actors sit awaiting their scene, there are no other set design elements, stage effects or any dynamic setting: it looks more like an actors’ workshop. It is also monumental because the infinity of an empty stage opens up behind the very small acting space but primarily because brilliant acting, combining speech and physical action, create the impression of strength and greatness. The acting, the chief value of the production, investigates the possibilities of energetic, emotionally and spiritually experienced, compelling and truthful narration of the biblical word within contemporary theatre idiom without any psychological, social and similar (forced) approach to our times.
