ABOUT PERFORMANCE
This is the story of a withdrawn, sensitive man who desperately wants to get a validation of him-self from his environment – meaning any other man, wanting to see himself through the eyes of another human as worthy of respect, admiration and even love. In the exchange of “inter-nal goods”, he wants to realize himself and give those “internal goods” some meaning. But, in the poisoned urban environment, in the beehive of a metropolis, in which a multitude of frightened individuals conceal themselves behind shoulder straps and fur coats, no matter how much he struggles, he can not receive the respect or love (...) because these people have learned to protect
their integrity in the ruthless battleield of lifeby concealing their feelings and developing an emotional alienation, in short – to be cruel.

ABOUT AUTHOR
Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian writer and essayist, known for his
novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky’s literary output ex-
plores human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century
Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, hisNotes from Underground (1864), written in the embittered voice of the anonymous “underground
man”, is overture for existentialism. A prominent figure in world literature, Dostoyevsky is often
acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature.
