MAREK Praµák
DITA EIBENOVA
Ostrava, Czech Republic
Untitled

Waiting in the darkened hall of spectators. The silhouette of a man walking in the pitch blackness. A narrow beam of light illuminates his face. Shamanic acts, the sound of feet running on a vibrating acoustic disc, an explosion of voices and movement, the cries of beasts and various calls. In contrast to the growling of the naked faun with its tail, shiny metal penis, and false vampire fangs, the singing of an operatic diva standing on the balcony creates the melodramatic effect of a film integrated into the spectators' environment. A random passer-by wishing to lunch at the club he knew so well was taken aback when he suddenly encountered a naked faun by the door he'd just opened. When it cried "Hello!", the flabbergasted citizen was forced to take flight.
