As such, nothing has changed in man, through thousands of years. He is still dominated by genes and instincts; as it was when he was still hiding in caves. And what has he gained by such a celebrated civilization? A more comfortable way of life, for which he has sold his freedom. Maximum sophistication is the developed means of coercion. It has become hidden, invisible. And who is behind all this? Politics, military, religion, the “Three Dark Angels”, dressed in shiny coats of democracy, peace and salvation. Director’s Biography: Ema Kugler was born on 9th March, 1955 in Celje. She is a graduate of the Faculty of Economics from Ljubljana. Her field of interest covers different media: performance, installation, theatre costume design. She often works as a freelance artist. In her work, a tension between life and death is staged to a nearly tangible presence. Her works and performances are usually showcased in vast industrial halls, factories, stone-pits or on projections in full darkness, filled with sound or/and images that avoid any typological definitions.
